Ingredients

  • 4 tablespoons butter

  • 1 onion, sliced

  • ½ teaspoon dried thyme

  • 5 (10.5 ounce) cans beef consommé

  • 6 bay leaves

  • ½ cup white wine (Optional)

  • 8 (1/2-inch-thick slices) French baguette

  • 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

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

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

  3. In a large pot over high heat, combine the consommé, bay leaves, and white wine. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, stir in the sautéed onions, and cook until heated through, 10 to 15 minutes.

  4. Ladle soup into four individual oven-safe bowls, filling each about 3/4 full. Top each bowl with two baguette slices and cover with mozzarella.

  5. Bake in the preheated oven until mozzarella is melted and bubbly, 10 to 15 minutes.
