Ingredients:

• 2 pounds yellow onions, sliced thin
• 3 tbsp unsalted butter
• 2 tbsp flour
• 1 bay leaf
• 1/2 tsp dried thyme
• 1/8 cup dry sherry
• 1/4 cup Cognac or brandy
• 1/4 cups white wine
• 9 cups beef stock
• kosher salt and freshly ground pepper, to taste

• 6 medium slices toasted Italian bread
• 6 slices Sargento reduced fat Swiss

Directions:

In a Dutch oven, or large pot, saute the onions with the butter over medium heat, until the onions are soft and golden, about 20 minutes. Add flour, mixing well another 2-3 minutes. Add thyme, bay leaf, sherry, wine and brandy, and simmer uncovered for 10 more minutes.

Add the beef stock, salt & pepper to taste, reduce heat. Cover and simmer gently for about 20 minutes. Remove bay leaf and ladle 1-1/2 cups soup into 6 oven-proof bowls. Place bowls on a baking sheet. Place sliced toasted bread rounds into each bowl and top bread with cheese. Broil 2 to 3 minutes, until cheese melts.
