    List of Ingredients




    2 T. unsalted butter
    5 med. red onions (about 3 pounds), halved and sliced thin
    2 tsp. minced fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried
    Salt
    1/4 c. balsamic vinegar
    6 c. low-sodium chicken broth or stock
    1 3/4 c. low-sodium beef broth or stock
    2 bay leaves
    Pepper
    1 baguette, sliced 1/2-inch thick
    8 oz. Swiss cheese, shredded (2 cups)

    Recipe



    Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onions, thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are dark and sticky, about 30 minutes.

    2.Stir in the vinegar and scrape the browned crust from the pot. Stir in the chicken broth, beef broth, and bay leaves. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste and discard the bay leaves.

    3.Adjust an oven rack to the middle position and heat the oven to 450 degrees. Arrange oven-safe soup bowls on a rimmed baking sheet and ladle the soup into them. Top each bowl with 2 baguette slices and sprinkle each with 1/4 cup of the cheese. Bake until the cheese has melted, about 5 minutes. Serve hot.
