Ingredients

1/2 stick of butter
3 medium yellow onions, sliced thinly
1 cup red wine
2 carrots, small dice
2 celery sticks, small dice
4 garlic cloves, minced
salt and pepper
1 tablespoon fresh thyme
2 bay leaves
32 ounces of beef stock
2 cups shredded rotisserie chicken
bread cubes
Gruyere cheese

Instructions

Begin by melting your butter over medium heat in a large dutch oven.
Add sliced onions once the butter begins to bubble, and cook until caramelized. This takes a while — depending on your stovetop, up to twenty minutes.
Once onions are caramelized, add red wine to the pot and turn the heat up to medium-high. Reduce by half.
Once the wine is reduced by half, add in carrots, celery, and garlic and saute until tender — maybe 10 minutes — over medium heat.
Pour in thyme, bay leaves, beef stock, and chicken.
Simmer over low heat for half an hour.
You could also pour all this into a crock pot and cook on low for a few hours.
When you’re ready to serve, ladle the soup into oven-proof soup dishes.
Cover the top with shredded gruyere cheese, and broil for 2-3 minutes until melted.
Serve immediately, but be careful! It’s HOT!
