"As viscous as motor oil swirled in a swamp, redolent of burnt bell peppers nested in by incontinent mice and a finish reminiscent of the dregs of a stale can of Coca-Cola that someone has been using as an ashtray. Not a bad drink, though."--Excerpt from "The Moose Turd Wine Tasting" by T. A. Nonymous

Directions:
Melt butter in large soup pot. Add onions, garlic, bay leaf, thyme and salt & pepper. Cook until onions are very soft and caramelized, about 45 minutes or more. Add wine; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until wine has mostly evaporated. Discard bay leaf and thyme sprigs. Dust onions with flour and stir about 1 minute. Turn down heat so flour doesn't burn. Add beef broth and bring soup back up to a simmer.
Preheat broiler. Arrange baguette slices on baking sheet and brush with butter. Sprinkle with cheese and broil until bubbly and golden.
Ladle soup into bowls and float the cheese bread on top.
