1 In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add onions and caramelize. Stirring often, cook for about 20 minutes or until onions soften.
2 Add butter and cook for about 15–20 minutes or until onions begin to brown.
3 Stir in sugar and salt, and continue cooking for another 15 minutes or until the onions are well browned. During the last couple of minutes, stir in garlic.
4 Mix in red wine and scrape any bits and flavors from the sides and bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon. Add in the broth, Worcestershire sauce, bay leaves, thyme, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and cook for 30 minutes. Stir every few minutes.
5 While the soup is cooking, preheat the oven to 400º F. Brush the slices of bread with oil and place on a baking sheet. Toast for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. Remove from heat and set aside.
6 Season soup to taste with additional salt and pepper. Ladle the soup into bowls, top with toasted bread, and sprinkle grated cheese. Place the bowls on a large baking tray and broil in the oven until the cheese melts and bubbles. Serve immediately. Enjoy!
