12 cups thinly sliced onions (6 large)
1/4 cup butter, melted
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme leaves
5 tablespoons Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
3/4 cup dry sherry
1/4 cup water

20 slices (1/2 inch thick) baguette (about 10 oz)
6 oz Gruyère cheese, shredded (1 1/2 cups)

  • Cover; cook on Low heat setting 9 to 10 hours or until onions are softened and deep brown.
  • Stir broth into slow cooker. Increase heat setting to High. Cover; cook 10 minutes or until hot.
  • Meanwhile, set oven control to broil. Line cookie sheet with foil. Arrange baguette slices in single layer on cookie sheet.

Top each bowl of soup with 2 cheese toasts. Sprinkle with fresh thyme.
