Instructions

1.
**Caramelize the Onions:** Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes, or until deeply golden brown and caramelized. Add garlic and thyme during the last 5 minutes.
2.
**Deglaze the Pan:** Pour in beef broth (and white wine, if using) and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the liquid to reduce slightly.
3.
**Cool the Onions:** Remove the caramelized onions from the heat and let them cool slightly before adding them to the food processor.
4.
**Blend the Hummus:** In a food processor, combine chickpeas, tahini, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Process until smooth. Add 2 tablespoons of ice water and continue to process, adding more water (1 tablespoon at a time) until you reach your desired consistency.
5.
**Incorporate Onions:** Add the cooled caramelized onions (leaving a small amount for garnish, if desired) to the food processor and blend until fully incorporated into the hummus.
6.
**Toast the Baguette:** Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C). Arrange baguette slices on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until lightly toasted.
7.
**Serve:** Transfer the French Onion Soup Hummus to a serving bowl. Garnish with reserved caramelized onions, fresh parsley, and grated Gruyere cheese (optional). Serve immediately with toasted baguette slices for dipping.

Chef's Tips

For a smoother hummus, remove the outer skins from the chickpeas before blending.

Adjust the amount of beef broth and ice water to achieve your desired consistency.

The caramelized onions can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

For a more intense onion flavor, consider adding a pinch of onion powder to the hummus.

If using vegetable broth, add a few drops of kitchen bouquet or Maggi seasoning for extra depth.
