"I got this out of a garlic-themed cookbook. It's great for lunch or as a side for a cold-weather dinner."

ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
4 large onions, thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon sugar
¹⁄₂ teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoons flour
¹⁄₂ cup dry white wine
8 cups chicken broth or 8 cups beef broth
6 -8 slices crusty bread, thick slices, toasted
1 garlic clove, halved
3 cups shredded swiss cheese

directions

Melt the butter together with the olive oil in a large, heavy saucepan. Add onions and cook over med-high heat for 10-12 min, until softened and beginning to brown.
Add minced garlic, sugar, and thyme, and continue cooking over med heat for 30 min, or until onions are well-browned, stirring frequently.
Sprinkle in flour and stir until well blended. Pour in white wine and broth and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 45 min, skimming off any scum that rises to the surface.
Preheat broiler. Rub each side of the bread with the cut sides of the garlic. Place 6-8 oven-proof soup bowls on a baking sheet and fill 3/4 full with onion soup.
Float a piece of toast in each bowl. Top with the grated cheese, dividing equally among bowls and broil 3-4 min until cheese melts. Serve immediately.

I live in Minneapolis with my husband and our dog Dexter. We just got married in Oct. of 2006 and live in an old house that we remodeled ourselves and turned into a duplex. He's a med student and is just starting his residency in family practice. I'm an adult mental health case manager. My job is super-stressful and takes up most of the brain power that I have in a day, but cooking is relaxing to me, and I love trying new combinations of foods. <img src="http://i250.photobucket.com/albums/gg271/MrsTeny/Permanent%20Collection/PACSpring09Iwasadopted.jpg">
