Step by Step guide

Step 1

In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and add 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Add the sliced onions, sugar, thyme, salt, and pepper. Cook, stirring, for 30–35 minutes until golden brown. Sprinkle with flour and mix.

Step 2

Slightly increase the heat and pour in the broth and wine. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat, cover, and simmer for 30 minutes.

Step 3

For the croutons, toast the bread slices in a toaster or on a grill until dry (do not over-toast), rub with garlic, and brush with the remaining olive oil. Toast lightly again.

Step 4

Preheat the oven to 446°F.

Step 5

Pour the soup into individual ovenproof dishes, top each with 2 croutons, and generously sprinkle with cheese. Bake until golden brown for 12–15 minutes. Serve immediately.
