Directions
- Preheat a large rondo over medium heat for 3 to 5 minutes.
- Add oil and onions. Allow onions to slowly caramelize, stirring as needed (approximately every 2 to 3 minutes).
- Cook for 30 to 45 minutes until onions are deep brown. When onions are thoroughly caramelized, add sherry and reduce until nearly dry.
- Add water.
- Add Custom Culinary® Gold Label Savory Roasted® Beef Base and stir until it melts and combines well with water and onion. Simmer for 10 minutes.
- To prepare for serving, add onion soup to an oven-safe cup or bowl. Top with a toasted baguette slice, Gruyère and a sprinkling of Parmesan. Brown the cheese under the salamander or in a hot oven for 2 to 3 minutes.
