Ingredients
1/4 cup olive oil
4 large onions, thinly sliced
8 cups beef stock
1 bunch parsley, finely chopped
4 thick slices French bread
2 cups shredded cheese (mozzarella or your preferred type)
Instructions
1
Heat a large pot on the stove, and add 1/4 cup of olive oil. Toss in the thinly sliced onions and sauté them over medium heat for approximately 10 minutes, or until they turn beautifully caramelized.
2
Deglaze the pot by pouring in a touch of red wine (optional), infusing your onions with an extra layer of flavor.
3
Add the 8 cups of beef stock and the finely chopped parsley to the pot. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Allow it to cook for about 5 minutes, or until the onions have reached a tender perfection.
4
Now, it's time to assemble your soup. Ladle the savory mixture into an oven-safe bowl. Top it off with a thick slice of French bread, and generously sprinkle about 1/2 cup of shredded mozzarella cheese over the bread.
5
Place the bowl under the broiler and watch the cheese carefully. Let it melt and bubble, turning a tempting shade of golden brown.
6
Remove the bowl from the oven, taking care not to touch the hot surface. Serve up this piping-hot delight and savor the wonderful blend of flavors in every spoonful.
