  • 3 Tbsp all purpose flour
  • 2 (32-oz) cartons beef stock
  • ½ cup dry white wine

  • 10 (1-inch-thick) slices French bread
  • 1 clove garlic, halved
  • 2 oz Swiss cheese, cut into thin slivers
  • 1 Tbsp grated onion
  • 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese

Instructions

  1. Melt butter with 1 Tbsp oil in a large Dutch oven over low heat. Add onions, and cook, covered, 15 minutes. Uncover, and increase heat to medium; stir in salt and sugar. Cook 30 to 40 minutes longer, stirring occasionally, until onions are deep golden brown.
  2. Sprinkle flour over onions; cook, stirring constantly, 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and stir in stock and wine until blended.
  3. Cook, partially covered, over medium heat 30 minutes longer. Season with salt and pepper, if desired. Stir in cognac.
  4. Meanwhile, preheat oven to 325°F. Place bread slices on a baking sheet; bake 15 minutes. Brush both sides of bread with 1 tsp oil. Bake 15 minutes longer or until toasted. Rub each toast with cut side of garlic.
  5. Stir Swiss cheese slivers and grated onion into soup. Divide soup among 10 oven-safe bowls. Top each soup with 1 toasted bread slice and shredded cheese. Place soup bowls on a baking sheet. Bake 20 minutes .
