Ingredients

  1. 2 lbs beef short ribs
  2. 2 large onions, thinly sliced
  3. 4 cloves garlic, minced
  4. 6 cups beef broth
  5. 1 cup dry red wine
  6. 2 tbsp olive oil
  7. 2 tbsp butter
  8. 1 tbsp fresh thyme, chopped
  9. 1 bay leaf
  10. Salt and pepper to taste
  11. 2 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional, for thickening)
  12. 1 cup Gruyère cheese, shredded
  13. 4 slices baguette or French bread, toasted
  14. Instructions:
  15. Heat olive oil and butter in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Brown the beef short ribs on all sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  16. In the same pot, add the sliced onions and sauté over medium heat until caramelized, about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
  17. Add garlic to the onions and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  18. Pour in the red wine and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pot. Let the wine reduce by half, about 5 minutes.
  19. Return the short ribs to the pot. Add beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook for about 2 hours until the short ribs are tender.
  20. Remove the short ribs and shred the meat, discarding any bones. Return the shredded meat to the pot and stir.
  21. If you prefer a thicker soup, dissolve the flour in a little bit of broth and stir it back into the soup. Let it simmer for another 5 minutes to thicken.
  22. Preheat your broiler. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, top with toasted baguette slices, and sprinkle with shredded Gruyère cheese.
  23. Place the bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
  24. Serve hot and enjoy!
