Instant Pot French Onion Soup

🧂 Ingredients

• 2 tbsp butter
• 10 medium-sized yellow onions, sliced
• 1/2 tsp each salt & pepper
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1/2 cup red wine
• 6 cups beef broth
• 6 slices baguette, sliced about 1/2 inch thick
• 3/4 cup Gruyere (Swiss) cheese

Instructions

• 1 Turn Instant Pot to saute mode. Add butter and saute onions for 15 minutes until
  they start to brown, stirring occasionally and scraping bits off the bottom.
• 2 Add salt & pepper, thyme and flour, stirring until onions are well coated. Pour
  in red wine, then saute for 1-2 minutes until some of the liquid is reduced.
• 3 Add beef broth, then place lid on Instant Pot and make sure valve is set to
  seal. Press the pressure cook button and set to high, then cook for 5 minutes.
  Instant Pot will take about 5-10 minutes to come to pressure then pressure cook
  for 5 minutes.
• 4 Do a quick release of the pressure on the Instant Pot by flicking the switch at
  the top with a spoon. Open the lid when pressure gauge has dropped and the lid
  opens easily. Meanwhile, slice baguette, grate cheese and turn oven to broil on
  high.
• 5 Ladle soup into ramekins or oven safe bowls, then top with a slice of baguette
  and sprinkle some cheese overtop. Broil for 2-3 minutes until cheese is melted,
  watching closely so it doesn't burn. Remove from oven, then serve and enjoy!
