  • 1 large white onion, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp granulated sugar

  1. Heat butter and olive oil in a medium saucepan over heat until the butter is melted. Add the onion and season with salt and pepper.
  2. Sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until softened. Add the sugar. Stir well.
  3. Stir every 5 minutes, until color appears on the bottom of the pan and the onions start to caramelize, about 15-20 minutes.
  4. When the onions are cooked down and are the color of caramel, stir in the broth, vermouth, Worcestershire, and thyme. Cover and reduce heat to a simmer. Cook for 15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
  5. Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
  6. Divide soup between 2 oven-safe bowls, and top with baguette and cheese.
  7. Bake for 20 minutes, or until cheese is golden brown.
