As you can see an onions soup gratinee is made with really few and cheap ingredients.
Onions they are super cheap and available all the year
Bread : bare minimum and cheese to add flavor
The rest is technic and knowledge. To transform 2 or 3 basic ingredients into a food delicacy.

Ingredients: Basic
40 g/1.4 oz of unsalted butter
0.6 kg /1.3 lb of brown onions, or white or yellow finely sliced
8–12 thin slices of toasted baguette
1 liter /33 oz of homemade chicken stock (or beef stock/broth) or vegetable broth for vegans.
100 g /3.5 oz of grated cheese (French gruyere, Conté or Emmenthal)
1 Bouquet garni: (1 bay leave, 2 sprigs of thyme and parsley, pepper corn)
1/2 tsp of salt
1/4 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper
(Optional 2 Tbsp of plain flour)

(optional 1 small glass of Port or Madeira)
(optional 100ml of white wine)

Garnish
2 Tbsp of thyme leaves or chopped dill

Direction:
1- Peel and slice the onions finely. You can use a food processor if onions make you cry. In a large saucepan add the butter. When the butter is melted add the onions and sauté them. Stir regularly to avoid burning in the bottom. Reduce the onions until soft and a nice brown color is obtained. This glazing can take 1 hour. That is the secret of success. Onions contain a natural sugar, including glucose, fructose and sucrose and when you cook them, that sugar gets caramelized and becomes sweet and flavorful like cooking the Onions on an Australian BBQ.
2- Onions are also a good source of Vitamins minerals and antioxidants.
3- Onions have a low glycemic index, minimum impact on blood sugar levels.
4- Slice and toast the croutons from a baguette.
5- When the onions are well-browned, soft and caramelized, you can in option add some flour (I don’t add any, the onions should be well caramelized to thicken perfectly).
6- Deglaze with 1 ladle of chicken stock or (white wine). (You can use either beef stock, vegetable stock or even only water).
7- Now stir well, and add the remining of your stock.
8- Add a bouquet garni and bring to a boil: then on slow. Simmer for 20 minutes.
9- Check the seasoning, add salt and pepper.
10- Serving now. Remove the bouquet garni.
11- Fill the bottom of your serving onion soup bowl with some croutons. Sprinkle with 2 spoons of grated cheese (French gruyere).
12- Ladle the soup into bowls living 1 cm for croutons and cheese.
13- Add the slice of baguette and cover generously with grated cheese.
14- Grill for 5 minutes under the salamander or bake in the oven at 200⁰C for 20 minutes until you obtain a golden crust on top and a melting cheese.
15- Serve immediately. You can top with chopped chives or Thyme for presentation.
16- You can serve some extra cheesy toasts for hungry guests and kids.
17- Some people add also brandy, red wine, egg yolk or even bacon. I did the classical French onion soup gratinée A LA BOCUSE Way. Let me know your favorite personal choices in the comments section below.
