INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 tablespoon butter
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 4 large onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 2 (14 ounce) cans beef broth
  • 1/2 cup white wine
  • 1 1/2 cups water
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 6 slices French bread
  • 1 cup shredded Swiss cheese

DIRECTIONS

  1. In a large saucepan over low heat, melt butter with olive oil. Cook onions in mixture, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes, until very soft, translucent and brown on the edges.
