Servings: persons

1/4 cup olive oil
4 medium yellow onions, peeled, halved through the stem end, sliced 1/4-inch thick
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 garlic clove, peeled and thinly sliced
4 sprigs of thyme
1 bay leaf
2 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper
3/4 cup dry white wine or dry vermouth
2 quarts chicken stock
4 slices of country bread
4 ounces Gruyere cheese, coarsely grated

1
In a 5-quart Dutch oven or other large, heavy pot, heat the olive oil over a medium flame. Add the onions and, stirring frequently to prevent burning, saute until they are golden, about 30 minutes.
2
Add the butter, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper and cook for 10 minutes. Raise the heat to high, add the white wine, bring to a boil, and reduce the wine by half, about 3 to 5 minutes. Add the chicken stock and simmer for 45 minutes.
3
When the soup is done, turn off the burner and preheat the broiler. Remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf from the soup.
4
Put the slices of bread on a baking sheet and top evenly with grated cheese. Broil until the cheese is bubbly, just a minute or two, and serve with the hot soup.
