Instructions

1 Melt butter and one tablespoon of olive oil in a large pot (or Dutch oven) over
medium-low heat.
2 Add onions and brown sugar. Stir well. Cover and sauté gently on medium-low heat
for 15 minutes. Stir occasionally.
3 Remove the cover and increase heat to medium and cook uncovered for 15 minutes.
Stir occasionally.
4 Add bay leaves and thyme and deglaze with dry sherry and marsala wine. Add beef
broth and bring to a quick boil. Reduce heat and simmer for an additional 15
minutes.
5 Brush sliced baguette with olive oil and toast at 400º Fahrenheit until crispy.
Remove and set aside.
6 Ladle the soup into the soup bowl, top with two slices of toasted baguette, and
sprinkle with Gruyere cheese. Heat for 2-3 minutes under the broiler until the
cheese is bubbling, melted, and lightly browned.
