Ingredients

2 tbsp (30 mL) butter
4 cups (1 L) onions, thinly sliced
2/3 cup (160 mL) apple cider or unsweetened apple juice
2-1/2 cups (675 mL) veal stock or beef broth
1/2 tbsp (7 mL) Dijon mustard
3/4 cup (180 mL) apples, peeled and diced
Salt and ground pepper, to taste
8 slices baguette bread, toasted
2 cups (500 mL) Canadian Gouda, grated

Directions

1. In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the onions for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are tender and lightly golden.
2. Deglaze with the cider and allow the liquid to reduce by one-third. Add the veal stock, mustard, and diced apple. Season generously, bring to a boil and simmer for about 10 minutes half-covered.
3. Preheat the broiler. Divide the soup among four ovenproof soup bowls, cover each with 2 baguette slices, and sprinkle with cheese.
4. Place under the broiler until the cheese melts and is golden brown. Serve immediately.
