10 sweet onions (like Vidalias) or 10 a combination of sweet and red onions
3 tablespoons butter
kosher salt
2 cups Guinness stout
10 ounces beef broth
10 ounces chicken broth
10 ounces apple cider (unfiltered is best)
fresh thyme sprig, bay leaf and parsley
1 loaf country bread

1 cup grated gruyere cheese

1
Trim the ends off each onion then slice from end to end. Remove peel and finely slice into half moon shapes. Set electric skillet to 300 degrees and add butter. Once butter has melted add a layer of onions and sprinkle with a little salt. Repeat layering onions and salt until all onions are in the skillet. Do not try stirring until onions have sweated down for 15 to 20 minutes. After that, stir occasionally until onions are dark mahogany and reduced to approximately 2 cups. This should take 45 minutes to 1 hour. Do not worry about burning.

5
Season soup mixture with salt and pepper. Ladle soup into crocks leaving one inch to the lip. Place bread round, toasted side down, on top of soup and top with grated cheese. Broil until cheese is bubbly and golden, 1 to 2 minutes.
