Ingredients:

Serving

4 sweet onions ( like vidalias , about 3 lb)
3 tbsp butter
1 tsp salt
2 cups white wine
3 cups beef broth
3 cups chicken broth
bouquet garni, thyme sprigs, bay leaf and parsley tied together with kitchen string
1/2 tsp garlic powder
4 -6 slices crusty french bread , 1 slice per serving
kosher salt
ground black pepper
1/2 cup emmenthaler cheese, grated coarsely
1/2 cup gruyere cheese, grated coarsely

Directions:

Trim the ends off each onion then halve lengthwise. Remove peel and finely slice into half moon shapes.
Set electric skillet to 300 degrees (or large stock pot to medium-high) and add butter. Once butter has melted add a layer of onions and sprinkle with a little salt. Repeat layering onions and salt until all onions are in the skillet. Do not stir until onions have sweated down for about 15 minutes.
After that, stir occasionally until onions are dark mahogany and reduced to approximately 2 cups. This should take roughly 30 minutes. Do not worry about burning and keep yer darn hands out of the onions! I kept eating them when they’d get all dark and tempting.
Add enough wine to cover the onions and turn heat to high, reducing the wine to a syrup consistency. Add chicken and beef broths, garlic powder and bouquet garni. Reduce heat and simmer 15 to 20 minutes.
Place oven rack in top 1/3 of oven and heat broiler.
Cut country bread in rounds large enough to fit mouth of oven safe soup crocks. Put a thin layer of butter on each slice. Place the slices on a baking sheet and place under broiler for 1 minute. Turn over and toast unbuttered side for an additional minute or until browned.
Season soup mixture with salt and pepper to taste. Remove bouquet garni and ladle soup into crocks leaving one inch to the lip. Place bread round on top of soup and top with blended Emmenthaler and gruyere grated cheeses. Broil until cheese is bubbly and golden, 1 to 4 minutes depending on your preference. I like mine REALLY dark and partially crispy!
