A classic French recipe consisting of caramelized onions cooked in a flavorful beef broth and topped with toasted bread and melted cheese. Super yummy and comforting!
Reduce the heat to medium-low and continue cooking for 15 minutes until the onions soften.
Add the cognac and cook for 2 minutes.
Add a spice bag filled with the cloves, bay leaves, and garlic.
Add the beef bouillon jelly and water. Season with salt and pepper and mix. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for 30 minutes, stirring every so often.
When the soup is ready, transfer to a small clay pot or to individual ramekins. Top with baguette slices, sprinkle with grated cheese and grill, until the bread is toasted and the cheese turns golden.
