French term or phrase: en cocotte luttée
I have spent some trying to come up with a good translation of this term. I think luttée is meant to be lutée. Based on what I have found while researching this term, I think it means that the soup is served in a (cast-iron? stoneware) pot and topped with a crust. Does this seem right? And if so, is there a term for this in English or is it time to get creative?

And yes, I think the term is meant to be "cocotte lutée" though both spelling can be found when googling.

(onion soup) en croûte


Explanation:
I think sound a bit more appetising than "sealed". Yes, I think CC is right about lutée but onion soup is usually served with bread and cheese crust on top (though sometimes they put bread at bottom of bowl, not as nice imo) and is usally served in individual earthenware bowls like dish below

of course this particular soup also has Port added so

onion soup (flavoured) with Port en croûte
