Preparation

Step 1

Melt butter in a Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onion to pan; cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Continue cooking 50 minutes or until deep golden brown, stirring occasionally. Add pepper, apple, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves; cook 3 minutes or till apples soften. Add wine; cook 2 minutes, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Add broth and cider; bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes. Discard bay leaves, stir in vinegar.
Preheat broiler.
Arrange bread cubes in a single layer on a jelly roll pan; broil 2 minutes or until toasted, turning after one minute.
Preheat oven to 500.
Ladle 1 cup of soup into 10 ovenproof soup bowls. Devide the croutons evenly among the bowls, and top each serving with about 3 Tbsp cheese. Place bowls on a jelly roll pan. Bake at 500 for 8 minutes or till cheese melts. Garnish with thyme leaves, if desired.
