1 sprig of fresh thyme
¼ cups of dry wine
1 crusty baguette
Melted Gruyere cheese
The making
Melt the butter in a large bowl, add the onions, salt and sugar. Cover the head of the pan and cook it for 10 minutes. Then you have to take the cover off and cook that way by stirring constantly so much until the onions get brown or golden. You have to cook for about 80 minutes or so. Then add some water and stir, so much until the mass covers brown. Then continue to cook so much until the color of onions I really dark. Then add the flour and again continue stirring for 2-3 minutes.
For the next step add 8 cups water, the thyme and bring it to boil. Then lower the heat and leave that way for about 20 minutes. Then you should add the wine and wait for another 10 minutes. For the last, add some salt and take it out of oven.
Cut the baguette into slices, put them into the oven and bake them so much until they are dry. Once they are dry take them out of oven.
Take a deep plate, add some soup there, put the dried baguette on top, and at last put the cheese also on top.
The delicate soup is ready.
