Ingredients
- 1/2 cup (120 ml) unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) olive oil
- 4 cups (1 L) sliced onions
- 5 cups (1.2 L) beef broth
- 2 tablespoons (30 ml) apple juice
- 1 teaspoon (5 ml) dried thyme
- 1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
- 4 slices French bread
- 4 slices provolone cheese
- 2 slices beef bacon, diced
- 1/4 cup (60 ml) grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Collect all the necessary items.
- In a large pot, combine the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted. Add the onions and stir continuously until they become soft and clear, ensuring they don’t change color.
- Introduce the beef broth, apple juice, and thyme into the mixture. Add a touch of salt and pepper for seasoning, then allow it to gently simmer for half an hour. While waiting, set the oven’s broiler to preheat.
- Pour the soup into bowls that are safe for the oven, then top each with a slice of French bread (feel free to tear the bread into pieces if desired). On each piece of bread, place a slice of provolone, some diced beef bacon, and a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
- Arrange the bowls on a baking sheet and place them under the broiler in the preheated oven until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and slightly browned, which should take about 2 to 3 minutes.
- Serve immediately while hot and enjoy your meal!
