1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
6 cups chicken or beef stock or canned low-sodium broth
Freshly ground black pepper

1
In a large enameled cast-iron casserole, melt the butter in the 3 tablespoons of olive oil.

Add the onions, thyme and salt and stir to combine.
3
Cover the onions with a moistened sheet of parchment, pressing it directly on the onions and cover with the lid.

5
Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir.
6
Add the stock and bring to a simmer.
7
Season with salt and pepper and cook for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 350.

Brush the baguette slices on both sides with olive oil, spread them on a baking sheet and toast for 12 minutes, or until golden and crisp.
10
Preheat the broiler.
11
Pour the soup into heatproof bowls and set them on a heavy baking sheet.

In a small bowl, combine 1 cup of the Gruyere with the Parmesan.
13
Sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup of Gruyere into the soup and top with the toasted baguettes.
14
Sprinkle the cheese mixture on top and broil 8 inches from the heat for about 2 minutes, or until melted and golden, shifting the pan for even browning.

Serve right away.
