Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter

  • 1 onion, sliced

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • 5 (10.5 ounce) cans beef consomme

  • 6 bay leaves

  • ½ cup white wine (Optional)

  • 1 French baguette, cut into 1/2 inch slices

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).

  2. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium high heat. Place the onion in the butter and saute for 5 to 10 minutes, or until tender. Stir in the thyme and remove from heat.

  3. In a large pot over high heat, combine the consomme, bay leaves and white wine, if desired. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low, stir in the sauteed onions and allow to heat through, about 10 to 15 minutes.

  4. Ladle soup into 4 individual oven-safe bowls, filling each about 3/4 of the way. Top each bowl with 2 slices of baguette bread and then cover each with the cheese.

  5. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 10 to 15 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
