Spray a 6-quart dutch oven with non-stick spray. Add oil and heat over med. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 min. Or until lightly browned. Stir in flour, then 2/3 cup broth. Bring to a boil. Add both beef and chicken broths, thyme, pepper, and salt. Return to boil. Reduce heat to low. Simmer, uncovered, for 30 minutes.Meanwhile, make the crouton crust: Preheat the broiler. Place bread slices on a baking sheet and broil until nicely browned on both sides. Remove the bread from baking sheet and set aside. Place 8 ovenproof soup bowls on the baking sheet Ladle the soup into the bowls and top each with a crouton. Sprinkle each crouton w/ cheese. Broil, 6-inches from heat for1-2 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
I absolutely love this soup. To make a richer tasting soup, replace the 2/3 of water w/ 2/3 of brandy.
