Categories: Vegetables, Wine, Beef, Breads, Cheese
Yield: 12 servings

5 tb Olive oil; divided
1 tb Butter
8 c Thin sliced onions
3 cl Garlic; minced
1/2 c Port or dry sherry
64 oz Beef broth
1/2 ts Pepper
1/4 ts Salt
24 sl French bread baguette; 1/2"
- thick
2 lg Garlic cloves; peeled,
- halved
3/4 c Shredded Gruyere or Ementhal

In a Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons oil and butter over
medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until softened,
10-13 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring
occasionally, until deep golden brown, 30-40 minutes.
Add minced garlic; cook 2 minutes longer.

Stir in wine. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is
reduced by half. Add broth, pepper and salt; return to a
boil. Reduce heat. Simmer, covered, stirring
occasionally, for 1 hour.

Meanwhile, set oven @ 400oF/205oC.

Place baguette slices on a baking sheet; brush both
sides with remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Bake until
toasted, 3-5 minutes on each side. Rub toasts with
halved garlic.

To serve, ladle soup into twelve 8 oz. broiler-safe
bowls or ramekins on baking sheets; place 2 toasts in
each. Top with cheese. Broil 4" from heat until cheese
is melted.
