Peel and thinly slice the onions.

Meanwhile, heat the vegetable broth.
3

Sauté the sliced onions in a little butter.
4

When the onions are translucent, pour in the white wine and let it reduce for a few minutes until the alcohol evaporates.
5

Add the broth and season to taste with salt, pepper, and two pinches of Espelette pepper.
6

Simmer gently for about 10 minutes.
7

While the soup is cooking, toast slices of country-style bread (one per bowl or serving), rub each slice with a clove of garlic, and place the garlic-rubbed bread at the bottom of oven-safe bowls or plates.
8

Pour the soup over the bread, sprinkle with grated Comté cheese, and broil in the oven for a few minutes until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
9

Serve immediately with extra toasted bread slices.
