Chef's Notes


Gradually add the broth and wine while stirring consistently to avoid lumps. Scrape the bottom of the pan to get all the browned bits.
Onions should be thinly sliced for best texture and flavor.
Avoid using red onions for this recipe.
White wine can easily be substituted with water or extra broth.
If you skip the wine, give the soup a light squeeze of fresh lemon juice and Worcestershire sauce to mimic the wine’s acidity.
Oven-proof bowls or soup crocks are required for this recipe.
Replace flour with corn starch for a gluten free recipe. Also be sure to look closely at the ingredients in the beef broth.
Feel free to switch up the kind of cheese or omit one or more of the cheese types in order to cut back on recipe costs.
Fresh thyme is preferred for the recipe, but dried thyme is fine to use, too.
Add a bay leaf or two while the soup is cooking for a little extra flavor
