Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 1 tablespoon Olive Oil
- 3 cups Sliced Onions
- 4 cups Beef Broth
- 1 cup Long-Grain Rice
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried Thyme
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black Pepper

Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Heat olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized, about 20-25 minutes.
- Stir in beef broth, rice, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 18-20 minutes, or until rice is cooked and liquid is absorbed.
- Preheat oven broiler. Place French bread slices on a baking sheet and toast lightly under the broiler.
- Spoon rice mixture into oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with a toasted bread slice and sprinkle with Gruyere cheese. Broil until cheese is melted and bubbly, about 2-3 minutes. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
For a vegetarian option, substitute vegetable broth for beef broth. You can also add a splash of dry sherry to the soup while it's simmering for added flavor.
