Recipe by Melissa Roberts In this redesigned French bistro classic, softened red onions join salty Manchego, and star anise gives the peppery broth a subtle undercurrent of sweetness.

Ingredients

  • 2 cups reduced-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 cups water
  • 2 whole star anise
  • 6 black peppercorns
  • 2 pounds red onions, cut into 1/2-inch wedges
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup dry red wine
  • 4 (1-inch-thick) slices of baguette
  • 2 cups coarsely grated Manchego or Gruyère (6 to 7 ounces)

Instructions

  1. Bring broth, water, spices, and 1/2 teaspoon salt to a boil. Remove from heat and let steep 15 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, cook onions in oil with 1/4 teaspoon salt in a heavy medium pot over medium heat, covered, stirring occasionally, until deep golden, about 15 minutes. Add wine and boil, uncovered, until reduced to 2 tablespoons, about 1 minute.
  3. Strain broth through a sieve into onion mixture and briskly simmer, uncovered, 10 minutes. Season with salt.
  4. Preheat broiler.
  5. Ladle soup into 4 ovenproof bowls set in a 4-sided sheet pan. Place baguette slices on top and sprinkle each with 1/2 cup cheese. Broil about 6 inches from heat until cheese is melted and bubbling, about 2 minutes.
