Ingredients

Instructions

  1. In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.

  2. Add the diced apples to the pot and cook for an additional 5 minutes, allowing them to soften slightly.

  3. Pour in the beef broth and apple cider, stirring well to combine. Bring the soup to a simmer.

  4. Stir in the balsamic vinegar, fresh thyme leaves, salt, and pepper. Allow the soup to simmer for another 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

  5. Preheat the broiler. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls and top each with a slice of toasted baguette. Sprinkle a generous amount of grated Gruyere cheese over the bread.

  6. Place the bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.

  7. Carefully remove the bowls from the broiler and let them cool slightly before serving.
