Ingredients:  
2 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp butter
4 large vidalia onions sliced
1 large or 2 small cloves of garlic, minced
1 1/2 c beer
5 cups bold beef broth
1 Tbsp fresh thyme or 1 tsp dried thyme
1 bay leaf
1 loaf of French Bread cut diagonally into 1 inch pieces (olive oil to brush onto bread)
8 to 12 slices Gruyere, Swiss or Provolone Cheese

Brush bread slices with olive oil on both sides and place on cookie sheet. Bake for about 10 minutes or until golden brown. Turn slices over and continue to bake until both sides are toasted. Remove from oven and set aside.

In a large pot, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 25 to 30 minutes until onions are a deep golden brown. Add the beer and cook until almost all the liquid evaporates. Add beef broth, thyme and bay leaf, stirring well. Cover and simmer for 25 to 30 minutes. Remove bay leaf. Raise oven to 400º. Spoon soup into oven safe bowls. Place on or two slices of bread in soup and top with one or two slices of cheese. Bake in oven on baking sheet until cheese is melted and bubbly.
