Total 1 hour 40 minutes

Ingredients 

  • 2 ½ yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 56 oz roasted tomatoes, 2 cans of 28 oz
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 2 tbsp tomato paste
  • 3 anchovies
  • 1.5 tbsp balsamic vinegar
  • 1.5 tbsp tamari
  • 1 ½ cup red wine
  • 4 cups beef, chicken or veg broth (I used beef)
  • 3 cups heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp dried basil
  • 1/2 tbsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tbsp dried chives
  • Ciabatta
  • Gruyere , to taste
  • Fresh chives , to taste
  • Fresh basil, to taste
  • Parmigiano, to taste

Instructions

  • Add the onions to a heavy bottomed pot with a drizzle of olive oil. Turn heart up to medium high and mix for 2-3 minutes. Lower heat to medium low and let the onions caramelize, stirring periodically for about 45 minutes.
  • At this point, add some salt, 1 tbsp butter and 1 cup of red wine. Turn the heat up to medium until the wine is fully absorbed by the onions.
  • Add tomato paste, balsamic vinegar, tamari, garlic and anchovies. Turn the heat up to medium high and mix together until all liquid is absorbed and garlic gets fragrant. Add in remaining wine.
  • Add tomatoes, broth and spices. Bring to a simmer and cook covered on medium low for 30 minutes. Stir periodically so the bottom doesn’t stick.
  • Blend the soup until smooth, add in heavy cream and simmer for 5 minutes. Adjust seasoning to taste. Turn the heat off and finish with the butter.
  • Toast a couple pieces of ciabatta on both sides.
  • Divide the soup into bowls, top with a slice of bread, lots of gruyere and broil for a couple minutes.
  • Add chives, basil, parmesan, black pepper and that is it!
