Cooking Instructions

  • Melt together the butter, onions, and honey in a large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Cook, stirring occasionally until softened, about 10 minutes. Slowly add ¾ cup of the wine, ¼ cup at a time, until the wine cooks into the onions. Continue to cook for another 10-15 minutes until deep caramelization occurs.
  • Add the garlic, mushrooms, thyme, and sage. Season with salt and pepper and cook for another 3-4 minutes. Add the remaining ½ cup of wine, the broth, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, and a pinch each of salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium-high and simmer for 10 minutes, then stir in the cream and cook for another 5-10 minutes. Remove and discard bay leaves, and season to taste with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Arrange the bread on a baking sheet and toast for 10-15 minutes until very dry. Switch the oven to broil.
  • Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls. Add a slice of bread to each, top evenly with cheese, and broil until bubbly and golden brown, about 3-5 minutes. Top with fresh thyme and serve.

Notes

For an added depth of flavor, use homemade broth or roast the mushrooms before adding them to the soup.
