Servings 4 people

Ingredients

  • 2 Tbsp butter
  • 1 bunch green onions
  • 4-5 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup filtered water
  • 3 cups beef stock
  • a fair quantity of fresh ground pepper
  • sea salt
  • bay leaf
  • half a glass of white wine
  • sourdough bread
  • Swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. Melt the butter in a pot. Use scissors to cut up the onions--bulbs and stalks--over the pot. Add garlic to the pot. Simmer with the onions for 5 minutes.

  2. Add beef broth, water, pepper, bay leaf, and several pinches of salt. Heat and simmer for a few minutes. Add wine.

  3. Toast sourdough bread. Dish up soup; float one or two pieces of bread over each serving. Grate a pile of Swiss cheese over each.

Recipe Notes

  • If you don't have sourdough, use any bread that is crusty or dense and will stand up well to the broth.
  • You can buy grass-fed, organic beef broth online to make this soup very nutritious!
