Notes
Substitutions:
- If you don't have homemade chicken stock or beef stock, you can use bullion cubes or your favorite store-bough brand.
- Dried thyme can be used in place of fresh, but you will need to decrease the amount to about 1/8 teaspoon.
- Fontina is our favorite with this soup, but you can use any kind of white cheese like it! From Gruyère to a white cheddar.
- Make sure the onions are thinly sliced! I highly recommend using a mandoline to make the slicing easier!
- Use a white wine with a lot of citrus!
- This soups keeps and reheats really well.
