Cut onions in half and lengtwhise, add salt, then brown very slowly preferably in a heavy casserole to put in an oven. Deglaze browning bits with water every once in a while. After 2-3hours add both stocks 1:1, thyme and bay leaf and cook for another 30 min. Put soup in a ramekin. Top with toasted baguette slices and gruyère. Melt cheese under the broiler and serve.
