If you don't have your own recipe you can use mine. Slice onions, whack in roasting tin with white wine to just cover, a few dollops of butter and a generous splash of brandy. Season with s and p and cook in a moderate oven for 5-6 hours should be well caramalized. When done put in large saucepan, add just enough well flavored chicken stock to cover onions. In the meantime toast one side of sliced sourdough under oven grill. Remove and cover raw side with gruyere cheese, back to grill until

Cheese just melted. Put sliced in bowl, pour over soup and garnish with finely diced parsley.

Whoopsy, soup needs to be very hot when pouring over cheese toast.
