INSTRUCTIONS
Place onions in a covered saucepan with butter and olive oil over low heat and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft, about 30 minutes. Remove cover, add salt and sugar, and cook until onions are golden brown, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Stir in flour and cook an additional 5 minutes. In a separate saucepan over high heat, bring chicken and beef stocks to a boil. Add Cooked onions and sauterne, return to a boil, then cover, reduce heat, and simmer 45 minutes. Before serving add brandy and salt and pepper to taste. Preheat broiler. Ladle soup into individual ovenproof crocks, filling nearly to tops. Add a crouton to each bowl and cover with 3 or 4 slices of cheese to cover entire top of crock. Place crocks in a broiling pan and position under broiler until cheese melts, browns lightly, and forms a crust over top of crock.
