Ingredients:

Serving

5 tbsp olive oil, divided
1 tbsp butter
8 cups thinly sliced onions (about 3 lb)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 cup port wine
2 cartons (32 oz each) beef broth
1/2 tsp pepper
1/4 tsp salt
24 slices french bread baguette (1/2 inch thick )
2 large garlic cloves, peeled and halved
3/4 cup shredded gruyere or swiss cheese

Directions:

In a Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons oil and butter over medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir for 10-13 minutes or until softened. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook for 30-40 minutes or until deep golden brown, stirring occasionally. Add minced garlic; cook 2 minutes longer.
Stir in wine. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is reduced by half. Add the broth, pepper and salt; return to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer for 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Meanwhile, place baguette slices on a baking sheet; brush both sides with remaining oil. Bake at 400° for 3-5 minutes on each side or until toasted. Rub toasts with halved garlic.
To serve, place twelve 8-oz. broiler-safe bowls or ramekins on baking sheets. Place two toasts in each. Ladle with soup; top with cheese. Broil 4-in. from heat until cheese is melted. Yield: 12 servings.
