Ingredients

1 stick butter

6 Cups. thinly sliced onions (about 3 large sweet yellow or Vidalia onions)

1 teaspoon sugar

2 1/2 qts. beef broth (10 beef bouillon cubes and 10 cups water)

1/2 C. dry red wine, (can also use cooking wine)

sprig fresh thyme (optional)

salt and pepper to taste

1 baguette, (French bread) cut into as many ½inch slices as needed

2-3 slices provolone cheese per cup

Directions

Heat the butter in a heavy 5-6 qt. pan. When the butter has melted, add the onions and cook slowly, covered for 10 minutes. Add the sugar and salt. Cook onions slowly until onions caramelize and turn to a rich brown color. Do not let them burn! This will take 45-60 minutes.

Add the wine and cook 5 minutes, still over low heat. Add the stock and check for seasoning. Simmer uncovered for 30 minutes.

To serve:

Toast the French bread slices 15 minutes in a 350-degree oven. Ladle the soup into an ovenproof cup or bowl, add the toasted bread and cover with the cheese. Bake at 350 degrees F. for 20 minutes or 5 minutes under a hot broiler.
