Instructions

Step 1
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium high heat. Once hot, add the onions and cook for about 20 minutes until they soften and start to caramelize.
Step 2
Add the butter and continue to cook the onions for 15 – 20 more minutes until the onions reduce and brown. Turn down the heat if the onions start to burn, you want them to slowly cook and get golden brown.
Step 3
Stir in the agave nectar and garlic and continue to cook until the onions are darker brown, another 10 minutes.
Step 4
Stir in the red wine. Use a wooden spoon to scrape the bottom of the pot to deglaze the pot.
Step 5
Add the vegetable broth, thyme leaves, salt and pepper to the pot.
Step 6
Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 20 minutes, stirring every few minutes.
Step 7
Preheat oven to 400F.
Step 8
Brush your bread with butter or oil and toast for 10 minutes on a baking sheet. After 5 minutes, flip the toast halfway and continue to toast until both sides are golden brown.
Step 9
Divide the soup between four oven-proof bowls/ crocks. Place the toasted piece of bread in each soup bowl.
Step 10
Divide the shredded cheese on top of the four soups.
Step 11
Place the bowls on a large rimmed baking sheet and broil until the cheese is melted, golden brown and bubbly.
