For an even richer flavor, consider using homemade beef broth. The quality of the broth greatly impacts the final taste of the soup. If you don't have dry sherry, dry white wine can be used as a substitute. Keep a close eye on the soup while broiling to prevent burning. The timing may vary depending on your broiler.

Follow The Directions
01
StepPreheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C) with rack in middle position. (5 minutes)
02
StepCombine onions, olive oil, and thyme sprigs in a heavy-bottomed pot or large Dutch oven.
03
StepBake, covered, in the preheated oven, stirring once halfway through, until onions are wilted and lightly browned (about 40 minutes). Uncover and continue cooking, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden brown and caramelized (about 30 minutes more).
04
StepRemove from oven and stir in sherry. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, scraping up any browned bits from bottom and sides of pot, until liquid has mostly evaporated (about 3 minutes).
05
StepStir in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, pepper, salt, and bay leaf; bring to a boil over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, undisturbed, allowing flavors to meld together (about 15 minutes). Remove from heat and stir in apple cider vinegar. Discard thyme sprigs and bay leaf.
06
StepIncrease oven temperature to broil. Ladle soup evenly into 6 broiler-proof bowls or crocks, and place bowls on a large rimmed baking sheet. Top each bowl with 2 bread slices and about 1/3 cup Gruyère.
07
StepBroil until Gruyère is bubbly and bread is browned in places (3 to 5 minutes). Garnish with thyme leaves and serve immediately.
