Instructions
1
In a large stock pot, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
2
Add the sliced onions to the pot, stirring well to coat them with the oil.
3
Cover the pot with a lid, reducing heat to medium, and cook the onions for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. This helps to soften the onions without browning them.

Once the onions are translucent and tender, pour in the vegetable broth and white wine, then stir in the Gravy Master and black pepper.

6
When ready to serve, ladle the hot soup into bowls and, if desired, top with a sprinkle of Swiss or Gruyere cheese. For best results, broil the cheese until melted and bubbly before serving.
