3.     ¾ cup dry white wine (optional) 

4.     2 tbsp flour 

5.     6 cups of beef broth or chicken stock

6.     2 dried bay leaves 

7.     Salt and pepper

8.     6 to 8 slices of French baguette or softish bread 

9.     3.5oz of gruyere or mozzarella or any other melting cheese of your choosing

2.     In a large pot melt your butter and cook the onions in the butter on medium high heat for 20 minutes or until deep golden and caramelized. 

3.      Once the onions are caramelized added in wine and simmer rapidly until it is mostly evaporated. (optional if you used wine)

4.     Next added in flour and cook for 1 minute. 

5.     Then added in broth, bay leaves and pepper. Let this simmer on low for 30 minutes. (added salt to taste)

6.     Then make your cheesy toast, toast each side of the bread under a grill or broiler. Once toasted top with cheese and melt. 

7.     Then ladle your soup into bowls and top with your cheesy bread. Optional you can added some extra shredded cheese on top! Enjoy!

  Hi, my name is Riley, and I created this blog to share delicious recipes and to share how cooking can be a great outlet for emotions.    Here is a little bit of background on me and why I wanted to do this blog. Growing up I had been really interested and fascinated with cooking. I remember at a young age that I would watch my dad cook and be so intrigued of what he was doing and how he was preparing the meal. I started to ask my dad if I could help him and when I was able to help my face would light up with joy because I got to learn new skills. As I got older my dad trusted me more with helping him in the kitchen, so I got to do a lot more work than I did before hand and with this I realized that I really liked cooking. By a certain point I was able to tell what me and my dad needed more of, just by tasting the food.    Cooking has helped me  build closer relationships  to the people I love by sharing something that I love with them. My favorite thing is when I get to cook with peo
