Instructions

  1. Place a large saucepan over medium heat and add the butter and olive oil.
  2. Once the butter has melted add the onions and cook until completely caramelized and golden brown, stirring from time to time for about 1 hour. Also, add a bit of water or Guinness to deglaze the pan as needed to prevent burning.
  3. Next, add the garlic, brown sugar, and thyme. Cook until fragrant, about a minute.
  4. Add the butter, let it melt, sprinkle and mix in the flour and let it cook for 2-4 minutes.
  5. Add the beer and deglaze the pan.
  6. Add the broth, Worcestershire sauce, mustard, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
  7. Finally, ladle the soup into oven-proof bowls and arrange them onto a baking sheet.
  8. Top with the sliced bread and sprinkle cheese on top, broil until cheese melts, about 1-3 minutes. Serve.
