Ingredients
- ¼ c organic sweet cream butter
- 8 c sliced organic yellow onions 4 – 5 med. onions

- ¾ cup organic chicken bone broth
- 1 T white wine vinegar
- 3 T all-purpose gluten free flour

Instructions
- Melt butter in a cast iron Dutch oven (stew pot) over medium heat. When the butter is melted, add sliced onions and sauté for 15 – 20 minutes, stirring often, until onions turn golden brown.
- Add remaining ingredients (but not the garnish) to the pan and stir to combine. Heat soup until it’s boiling, then reduce heat and simmer covered for 1 hour and then uncovered for additional 20 minutes. Season as needed.
- Make croutons for the top of the soup by slicing gluten free / sourdough focaccia bread into 3/4-inch thick slices. Butter both sides of those slices, then cut the slices into bite-size cubes.
- Bake the bread in a 425-degree oven for 15 minutes or until crispy. Shave the cheeses by simply dragging a potato peeler over the edge of the wedge.
- Serve the soup hot with a handful of croutons floating on top followed by a couple tablespoons of shaved cheeses.
- Enjoy!
