Instructions

1 First, place butter, olive oil, onions, thyme, salt, and pepper in a pot on
medium heat.
2 Now, stir occasionally as the onions cook down. The onions will fill your pot in
the beginning and as it caramilizes will be just a layer at bottom of the pot.
This takes 40 minutes.
3 Also, add 2 tablespoons butter and flour and cook 2 minutes.
4 Next, add the garlic and saute for 1 minute. Taste the onions to see if needs
more seasoning add to taste (I usually add 1 teaspoon salt and a couple turns of
pepper mill).
5 Now, add wine and reduced by 1/2. Only takes 2-3 minutes.
6 Next, add the beef broth, red wine, and soy sauce. Raise the heat to boil and
then reduce to simmer for 30 minutes.
7 Now, while the soup cooks add gruyeere cheese to the sliced baugettes and toast
until melted. Set aside till soup is done.
8 Finally, taste the soup for seasoning. I place cheesy bread floating in the soup
pot. This makes it less work but you can pour soup into small bowls, add bread,
add cheese and melt each in oven too!
