French Onion Soup made with lager
1/3 cup butter
10 onions, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 (12 fluid ounce) can or bottle lager
1 quart beef broth
1/2 teaspoon dry mustard
1 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 bay leaf
6 slices French bread, toasted
3 cups shredded Gruyere cheese
In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir and cook onions in
butter until golden brown, 15 minutes.
Stir in the garlic and cook 1 minute. Pour in the beer and beef broth and
season with mustard, thyme, black pepper and the bay leaf. Bring to a boil,
then reduce heat, cover and simmer 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
Remove bay leaf from soup and ladle soup into a large casserole or
individual ovenproof bowls, leaving about 1 inch of room at the top of the
dish or dishes. Float slices of toasted bread on the soup and pile
generously with Gruyere.
Bake in preheated oven 10 minutes, until cheese is lightly browned and
bubbly.
