Ingredients
  

  • 4 tbsp butter
  • 4 sweet or yellow onions
  • 2 sprigs fresh Thyme
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine

  • 1 10 oz can beef consommé broth
  • 4 cups chicken stock

  • 1 16 oz loaf sourdough bread
  • 2 cups shredded cheese (Gruyere or Swiss)

Instructions
 

  • Peel and halve the onions, then slice them.

  • Remove the lid, increase the heat, and cook the onions until caramelized, about 10-15 minutes.
  • Stir in the Marsala wine and simmer for a few minutes to evaporate the alcohol.
