In a large pot, melt the butter and olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until they are caramelized, about 30-40 minutes.

Prepare the Onions

Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 2 minutes. Then, pour in the white wine to deglaze the pot, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom.

Add Garlic and Deglaze

Pour in the beef broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes.

Simmer the Soup

While the soup is simmering, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Arrange the baguette slices on a baking sheet and toast them in the oven until golden brown, about 10 minutes.

Prepare the Bread

Remove the bay leaf from the soup and ladle the hot soup into bowls. Top each bowl with toasted baguette slices and sprinkle with shredded gruyère cheese.

Serve the Soup

Place the bowls under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Serve immediately.
