Caramelized Onion and Bread Soup with Bruleed Blue Cheese

In their book Wine Food, sommelier Dana Frank and recipe developer Andrea Slonecker pair funky, bright wines with flavorful, vegetable-forward dishes. In this vegetarian version of classic French onion soup, blue cheese and oloroso sherry bring new layers of flavor and depth. Notes of toasted nuts and fruit compote in the sherry pair well with caramelized onions, and its briny acidity cuts through the richness of the cheese.

Ingredients

  • 4 1/2 pounds mixed onions (such as 2 large yellow onions, 2 large red onions, and 2 large sweet onions), halved and thinly sliced lengthwise (about 16 cups)

  • 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil

  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter

  • 1/4 cup oloroso sherry

  • 6 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium vegetable broth

  • 8 thyme sprigs

  • 1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus more to taste
