📝 Preparation Steps
1
Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2
In a large, heavy soup pot or Dutch oven, melt the butter over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, covered, for ⏱️ 20 minutes. Place the soup pot into the oven with the lid slightly ajar to ensure the onions will brown. Allow the onions to cook in the oven for ⏱️ 1 hour, stirring once, half way through, so the onions don't stick and burn.

3
Remove the pot from oven and place back on the stovetop over medium heat. If the onions aren't yet golden brown, cook for 5 to ⏱️ 10 minutes more, stirring frequently and scraping off all the brown, flavorful bits, until golden.
4
Turn off the heat and pour in the wine. Return the heat back to medium. Cook the wine for ⏱️ 5 minutes, allowing it to reduce. Add the broths, Worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low. Simmer for 30 to ⏱️ 45 minutes.

5
Preheat the broiler to low. Butter one side of the bread slices and broil for 1 to ⏱️ 2 minutes, allowing the bread to brown and become crispy.
6
When the soup is ready, ladle it into oven-proof bowls or ramekins set on a sheet tray. Place the crispy bread on top, then sprinkle generously with the gruyère. Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly, 2 to ⏱️ 3 minutes. Serve immediately.
