Let's Cook
-
Step 1.
Melt the butter in a cast-iron pot and sauté the onion slices, stirring frequently, until deep golden brown.
-
Step 2.
When the onions are caramelized, add half of the Roquefort and all of the flour. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 more minute.
-
Step 3.
Add the chicken stock and cream. Season with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook for 25 to 30 minutes.
-
Step 4.
Thinly slice the baguette and toast for croutons. Grate the Gruyere and crumble the remaining 3 oz of Roquefort.
-
Step 5.
When ready to serve, preheat the broiler.
-
Step 6.
Check the seasoning of the soup; ladle into ovenproof bowls. Float a teaspoon of Armagnac on the surface of each bowl and cover with croutons. Sprinkle with Gruyere and crumbled Roquefort.
-
Step 7.
Place the bowls under the broiler until a bubbly, golden-brown crust forms, about a couple of minutes. Serve.
