Cook for 50 min or until the onions are tender and golden. If the bottom of the pan starts to burn, add a little water to glaze the base and continue cooking.

After cooking, the onions will have considerably reduced in volume and will be completely caramelised. Add the thyme and stock, bring to the boil and cook for 20 min. Season to taste.

Meanwhile, prepare the toast: slice some bread and put some grated cheese on top of each piece. Toast in the oven under the grill until the cheese has melted. Serve the soup with a slice of toast on top.
