Instructions
-
1Slice onions into thin half-moons — patience: 2.6 lbs (1.2 kg) of onions is a lot, but they reduce significantly.
-
2Heat cannabis butter and olive oil in a heavy, wide pot over medium heat.
-
3Add onions, stir well. Cover, let sweat for 10 minutes.
-
4Uncover, stir in sugar. Now begins the main work: caramelize over medium heat for 45–50 minutes, stirring every 5–7 minutes. Onions become deep brown, sweet and nutty.
-
5Stir in garlic and thyme, sweat for 1 minute. Pour in wine and cook until completely reduced.
-
6Add broth, bay leaf, and Worcestershire sauce. Simmer for 15 minutes.
-
7Taste and adjust seasoning. Pour into oven-safe soup bowls or crocks.
-
8Place baguette slices in the bowl on top of soup, pile generous cheese on top.
-
9Broil at 460°F (240°C) for 3–5 minutes until cheese bubbles and turns golden brown.
Pro Tips
- Caramelizing onions cannot be rushed — too high heat burns instead of caramelizes.
- Cannabis butter only in the base; the cheese contains no cannabinoids. This keeps dosing precise.
- Day-old baguette absorbs soup without falling apart — fresh bread becomes mushy immediately.
