Instructions
- Melt the stick of butter in a pot over medium heat.
- Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and salt and pepper and cook until the onions are very soft and caramelized, stirring constantly, about 25 minutes.
- Add the wine, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the wine has evaporated and the onions are dry, about 5 minutes.
- Remove the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.
- Sprinkle the flour in slowly. Stir around the onions so that the flour coats them.
- Turn the heat down to medium low so the flour doesn't burn, and cook for 10 minutes to cook out the raw flour taste.
- Add the beef broth, bring the soup back to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes.
- Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
- Ladle the soup into bowls, top each with 2 slices of bread and top with cheese.
- Put the bowls into the oven to toast the bread and melt the cheese.
