Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in a heavy chef's casserole or a large pot over medium low heat. Stir in onions. Cover and cook until onions are very tender but not brown, stirring occasionally, about 1 hour. Add wine. Cover and cook until liquid has evaporated and onions are pale golden, stirring occasionally, about 30 minutes. Add broth. Bring to boil over medium high heat. Reduce heat to medium and simmer until flavors blend, about 15 minutes. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.

Do Ahead--soup can be made 1 day ahead. Cool. Cover and refrigerate.

Preheat broiler. Ladle soup into 6 flame proof bowls. Top each with 1 baguette piece. Sprinkle with cheese. Broil until cheese melts and bubbles, about 1 minutes.
