4 large onions (preferably yellow for a milder flavor)
20g butter
1 tablespoon flour
1L stock (chicken or beef, according to your preference)
4. Stir in the stock.
Slowly pour in the hot stock, stirring constantly to prevent lumps from forming.
Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Prepare the individual bowls.
Preheat the oven to 200°C (gas mark 6-7).
Divide the hot soup among 4 individual heatproof bowls. Place a slice of country bread on top of each bowl and sprinkle generously with grated Gruyère cheese.
6. Bake in the oven
for 5 to 7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. For an even more indulgent touch, mix the Gruyère with a little grated Parmesan cheese.
