Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 tablespoons salted butter
  • 4 medium yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 1/4 cups dry white grape juice
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups cremini or wild mushrooms, sliced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh thyme leaves
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh sage
  • 6–8 cups low sodium chicken or vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 6 slices French bread
  • 2 cups shredded Gruyère cheese

Instructions

  1. In a Dutch oven, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onions and honey; cook until softened (about 10 minutes). Gradually stir in grape juice until fully absorbed by the onions. Continue cooking until caramelized (10-15 minutes).
  2. Add garlic, mushrooms, thyme, and sage; season with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes. Pour in remaining grape juice and broth; add bay leaves. Increase heat to medium-high and simmer for about 10 minutes.
  3. Stir in heavy cream; cook for another 5-10 minutes. Remove bay leaves and adjust seasoning if needed.
  4. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and toast French bread slices on a baking sheet for 10-15 minutes until dry.
  5. Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls, top with toasted bread and shredded cheese, then broil until bubbly and golden brown (3-5 minutes).
