In a Dutch oven or soup kettle heat 2 tbsp. oil and butter over medium heat. Add onions, cook and stir until softened, 10-13 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low stirring occasionally until deep golden brown, 30-40 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook 2 minutes longer.

Stir in port wine. Bring to a boil and cook until liquid is reduced by half. Add broth, pepper and salt, return to a boil. Reduce heat, simmer stirring occasionally for 1 hour.

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Place baguette slices on a baking sheet after brushing both sides with remaining oil. Bake until toasted, 3-5 minutes on each side. Rub toasts with halved garlic.

To serve, place twelve 8 oz. broiler-safe bowls on baking sheet. Place 2 toasts in each. Ladle with soup, top with cheese. Broil 4” from heat until cheese is melted.
