Servings: persons

2 Tablespoons Butter
1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
3 whole Large Onions Thinly Sliced
3 cloves Garlic, Minced
1 teaspoon Salt
1 teaspoon Sugar (optional)
2 Tablespoons Flour
6 cups Beef Stock
1/2 cups Red Wine
2 whole Bay Leaves
1 teaspoon Fresh Thyme
1/2 teaspoons Black Pepper
12 Crostini Or Croutons

1
Heat butter and oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add onions and garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, breaking up the rings. Sprinkle with salt. Reduce heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, for about 1 hour. You want your onions to cook down quite a bit, and be a deep brown color. You can add sugar halfway through to help them caramelize if they need it.
2
Stir in flour. Cook for a minute, mixing the flour into the onions. Add beef stock, wine, bay leaves, and thyme. Cover and let simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add pepper, and additional salt if needed.
3
Preheat broiler. Spoon soup into oven safe bowls. Top with 2 small crostini and a little cheese. Heat under broiler until the cheese is melted and golden. Serve immediately.
