Equipment
- Wolf Gourmet Multi-Function Cooker
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons butter
- 3 lbs sweet onion peeled and thinly sliced
- 1 tablespoon Herbes de Provence
- 1 cup good white wine I used a pinot grigio
- 6 cups Vegetable Stock
- 4 Pieces Sourdough Bread
- 1/2 cup gruyere cheese grated, or mozzerella if you cannot find gruyere
Instructions
- Set your Wolf Gourmet Multi-Function Cooker to the 'Sear/Sauté ' mode, then select 'Medium'. Add the butter and the sliced onions, and sauté for 30 to 45 minutes until the onions have caramelized to a deep brown. Sauté with the lid removed, and stir occasionally.
- Once the onions have caramelized, add the wine directly into the pan, and stir with a wooden spoon, scraping and brown bits off the bottom of the pan. Add the garlic, Herbs de Provence, and vegetable stock. Cover the pot, and switch the multi-cooker to Manual Mode. Select 'Medium' again, and slow cook for 2-3 hours until onions are soft and falling apart in the soup broth. Taste, and add salt and pepper if desired.
- Just before serving, slice your bread and place a heaping pinch of gruyere cheese on top. Place the bread and cheese under the broiler for 2-3 minutes until the cheese begins to brown and bubble.
- Serve the hot soup with a cheese toast on top of the soup, or on a place next to the soup, and garnish with herbs.
