Ingredients:

Serving

1 tsp butter
2 cups thinly sliced onion (about 2 medium)
1/4 tsp sugar
1/8 tsp freshly ground black pepper
1/4 cup dry red wine
1 1/2 cups fat-free , less-sodium chicken broth
1 1/2 cups water
1/8 tsp dried thyme
remaining ingredients
2 (1/2-inch- thick) slices diagonally cut french bread baguette, toasted
2 tbsp grated gruyere cheese

Directions:

To prepare soup, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, sugar, and pepper to pan. Cook 15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Stir in wine; cook 2 minutes or until wine almost evaporates. Add broth, 1 1/2 cups water, and thyme; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 2 1/2 cups (about 15 minutes). Place 1 1/4 cups soup into each of 2 ovenproof soup bowls. Place bowls on a baking sheet.
Preheat broiler.
Top each serving with 1 slice baguette. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cheese over each serving. Broil for 3 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve immediately.
