      Yield: 12 servings
 
      5 tb Olive oil; divided
      1 tb Butter
      8 c  Thin sliced onions
      3 cl Garlic; minced
    1/2 c  Port or dry sherry
     64 oz Beef broth
    1/2 ts Pepper
    1/4 ts Salt
     24 sl French bread baguette; 1/2"

      2 lg Garlic cloves; peeled,

  In a Dutch oven, heat 2 tablespoons oil and butter over
  medium heat. Add onions; cook and stir until softened,
  10-13 minutes. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook, stirring
  occasionally, until deep golden brown, 30-40 minutes.
  Add minced garlic; cook 2 minutes longer.
  
  Stir in wine. Bring to a boil; cook until liquid is
  reduced by half. Add broth, pepper and salt; return to a
  boil. Reduce heat. Simmer, covered, stirring
  occasionally, for 1 hour.
  
  Meanwhile, set oven @ 400oF/205oC.
  
  Place baguette slices on a baking sheet; brush both
  sides with remaining 3 tablespoons oil. Bake until
  toasted, 3-5 minutes on each side. Rub toasts with
  halved garlic.
  
  To serve, ladle soup into twelve 8 oz. broiler-safe
  bowls or ramekins on baking sheets; place 2 toasts in
  each. Top with cheese. Broil 4" from heat until cheese
  is melted.
