Ingredients
  

  • ¼ c organic sweet cream butter
  • 8 c sliced organic yellow onions 4 - 5 med. onions
  • 32 oz organic beef bone broth
  • ¾ cup organic chicken bone broth
  • 1 T white wine vinegar
  • 3 T all-purpose gluten free flour
  • 2 tsp fresh ground black pepper
  • 1 tsp salt reduce in half if using salted butter
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp dried thyme
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Garnish

  • Gluten free croutons instructions below
  • shaved Swiss cheese
  • Shaved Gruyère cheese

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!
