Step 1
Slice onions thinly. In a large pot or Dutch oven, melt butter and olive oil over medium-low heat. Add onions and cook slowly, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and golden brown (about 30-40 minutes).
Step 2
Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes. Deglaze the pot with sherry/wine, scraping up any browned bits. Cook until almost evaporated.
Step 3
Pour in beef broth, add bay leaf, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook for 20-30 minutes for flavors to meld.
Step 4
Preheat broiler. Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls. Top each with a slice or two of baguette and a generous sprinkle of Gruyère cheese.
Step 5
Broil for 2-4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and golden brown.
