This Gluten Free French Onion Soup is super easy to make, flavorful and oh so cheesy! Made with caramelized onions, wine broth and Gruyere cheese. Now even if you’re gluten free you can enjoy this classic French soup!
The temps have dropped again and I’ve been all about making soups lately. There’s just something so comforting about cozying up to a nice hot bowl of soup.

How to Make French Onion Soup
In a large Dutch oven add Butter and heat over medium heat until melted. Add the Onions in layers and sauté until they are soft and golden, about 20-30 minutes. While the Onions are cooking prepare the Baguette.
Preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit. Slice Baguette into 1 inch rounds and place on a baking sheet. Bake 5 minutes each side until crispy, then set aside.
Next add the Flour to the Onions and stir 1-2 minutes. Add the White Wine and Sherry, simmer for 10 minutes stirring occasionally. Then add Broth, Thyme bundle, Bay Leaves, Salt, Pepper and simmer for 20 minutes.
Remove Thyme bundle and Bay Leaves, discard. Place French Onion Soup bowls on a baking sheet (make sure they are oven and broil proof bowls).
Ladle Soup into each bowl. Place 1-2 bread rounds into each bowl and top with Gruyere. Broil 2-3 minutes until cheese is nice and melted.
