Ingredients:
3 Spanish onions, cut in 1/2 lengthwise then thinly sliced
3 large shallots, cut in half
1 head garlic, cloves separated, peeled and cut in half ( large)
2 teaspoons olive oil
4 cups chicken broth
1/4 cup brandy
1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped, or 1 tsp. dried thyme leaves
1/4 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
Directions:
Set oven rack at lowest level, preheat to 450 degrees.
Combine onions, shallots, garlic and oil in large shallow roasting pan. Roast for 20 to 30 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, or until onions are golden brown.
Remove from oven and pour in 1 cup of chicken broth. Stir liquid in pan, scraping the bottom to loosen and dissolve caramelized bits.
Transfer the onion mixture to a soup pot and add brandy, thyme and remaining broth. Bring to a boil, reduce heat to low and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes.
Season to taste with salt and pepper.
Serve topped with Parmesan and perhaps some toasted French bread
