This is the epitome of the bowl as a comfort-food. To me, it’s notions of a hearty, flavorful stock become synonymous with this classic soup, which is loaded with sweet, caramelized onion, a spot of thyme, and an occasional drizzle of sherry or white wine.
I like to top it with a slice of baguette and a smear of melted Gruyère.
