Is this it?
Julia's French Onion Soup
3 Tb. butter
1 1/2 lbs. or about 6 cups thinly sliced yellow onions
1 t. salt
1/2 t. sugar
3 Tb. flour
5 cups chicken broth
3 cups beef broth
OR
6 cups homemade beef broth
1 c. red wine
1 bay leaf
1/2 t. rubbed sage
salt & pepper
1 baguette
1 1/2 c. grated Gruyère or Emmentaler
Melt the butter in a dutch oven and add the sliced onions. Cover pan
and cook until translucent (15 minutes or so), stirring occasionally.
Uncover pan, turn up heat to medium-high and add salt and sugar.
Stirring frequently, cook for another 20-30 minutes (I set a timer so
that I don't give up at about the ten-minute mark) until the onions
are deep brown and jammy. Heat broth to a simmer in a separate pan.
Lower heat under onions and add flour. Cook for about 2 minutes,
stirring continuously, to brown the flour. Remove from heat and whisk
in one cup of the hot broth. Add the rest of the broth, wine, and
herbs, and bring to a simmer. Simmer for 30-40 minutes and then taste
to adjust the seasonings, adding more salt and pepper if needed.
Ladle into heat-proof bowls and top with 3-4 toasted baguette slices
and grated cheese. Broil until bubbly on top.
