Ingredients
- 3 big onions peeled and thinly sliced (1 red, 1 white, 1 Vidalia)
- 1 green onion, finely chopped
- 1 big garlic clove, finely chopped
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1x750ml Fin du Monde beer from Unibroue
- 1/2 cup Port
- 1/2 cup red wine
- 4 cup beef broth
- 1 pinch of dried thyme
- 1/2 teaspoon celeri seeds
- 1 Bay leaf (to remove before broiling)
- Salt and pepper
- 6 slices of French Bread, about 1/2 inches thick
- 2 cups grated swiss cheese
- 1 cup fresh parmesan cheese, grated
Preparation
- In a large pot at medium-low heat, add the olive oil and slowly caramelize half of the onions (1/2 of each), garlic and the green onion about 20 minutes.
- Deglaze with the Fin du monde beer and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer to reduce half, about 10-15 minutes.
- Add the rest of the ingredients ( except for the bread and cheese ) then season with salt and pepper, to taste. This soup is better on the salty side! Bring to a boil again and lower heat, simmer for another 25 minutes.
- Preheat oven at broil.
- Put the soup into 6 bowl and add a slice of bread on top.
- Cover each bowl with the rest of the cheese. Start with the swiss and finish with the parmesan. Put in the oven until the cheese is golden crisp!

Our sommeliers suggest
Lindemans Bin 99 Pinot Noir
Not easy to pair wine with a soup, but the presence of wine, porto and beer should allow us to make a nice link! An Australian pinot on the fruity side, flawless.

American Brown Ale, Hopera
This American-inspired brown ale offers notes of toasted hazelnuts, roasted bread and sesame that all bring back to a delicate orange zest flavor. The gratin cheese and the broth will pair well with this beer. Its bitterness will emphasize that of the onions.

*Pairings are suggestions. If you can't find the exact product, substitute for the same type of beer or varietal blend from the same region. Feel free to ask a consultant for help!
