By IUPUI95

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 1 tablespoon oil
• 3 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
• 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
• 4 cups beef stock or broth
• 1 cup dry red wine
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 cups crunchy croutons
• 6 slices provolone cheese

Preparation

Step 1

1) Heat butter and oil on high heat until sizzling.

2) Place onions and sugar in the cooker, and cook until the onions caramelize, 10-12 minutes.

3) Add the beef stock, wine, thyme, bay leaf, garlic powder, salt and pepper and stir to combine.

4) Lock lid in place and cook at 15 psi for 8 minutes.

5) Perform a quick release.

6) Set oven broiler to high and place 6 oven-safe soup crocks on a large sheet pan. Ladle the onion soup (with plenty of onions) into each crock, filling until about 1/2" from the top.

7) Completely cover the surface of each crock of soup with croutons and then place a slice of provolone cheese over top. Carefully place sheet pan of soup crocks under broiler and cook until cheese is bubbling and beginning to brown, 3-5 minutes.
