Preparation steps

1.
Heat the butter and oil in a large pan and add the onions and the salt.
2.
Cook over a very gentle heat, stirring from time to time, for about 20 minutes then add the wine, chicken stock, thyme and bay leaf.
3.
Simmer for 30 minutes, season with salt and pepper and remove the thyme and bay leaf. Blend to make a smooth soup then return to the pan and reheat gently.
4.
Heat the grill to its highest setting and grill the sliced bread on one side. Turn the bread over and place a little grated cheese on the top of each slice. Grill until the cheese has just melted.
5.
Serve the soup in warmed bowls, top each with a cheese crouton and scatter over the remaining cheese.
