材料：
6 large sweet onions (about 3 pounds), halved and sliced into half-moons
6个大的甜洋葱，大约3磅（1.36千克），切两半，然后切成月牙形
2 tablespoons butter
2汤匙黄油
1 tablespoon sugar
1汤匙盐
1 teaspoon salt
1茶匙盐
1 teaspoon cracked black peppercorns
1茶匙花椒碎
8 cups Two-for-One Beef Stock or Basic Vegetable Broth or low-sodium store-bought
8杯牛肉汤或者蔬菜汤
2 tablespoons brandy, Cognac, or dry sherry (optional)
2汤匙白兰地或者干雪莉酒（可选）
12 slices Fresh Baguette or good-quality store-bought, cut into ½"-thick slices
12片新鲜面包片，切成半英寸大约1.3厘米厚的片儿
2 cups shredded Swiss, Gruyère, or Jarlsberg cheese, plus additional for serving
2杯切碎的瑞士、格鲁耶尔或加斯伯格干酪，额外再加一点儿，上菜的时候用
步骤：
IN A SOUP POT,combine the onions and butter and cook over low heat, stirring to coat the onions thoroughly, until softened, about 30 minutes.
在一只汤锅里面，开小火，把洋葱和黄油放进去，搅拌一下，让洋葱表面裹上黄油，炒到洋葱变软，大约需要30分钟。
Add the sugar, salt, and peppercorns and stir well. Increase the heat to medium-low, cover, and cook for 2 hours. Add the stock or broth and brandy (if using). Cook for 2 hours longer.
加入糖、盐、花椒，搅拌。开中火，盖上盖子，炖两小时。然后加入汤和酒，再炖2小时。
Preheat the broiler. Ladle the soup into 6 ovenproof bowls and place 2 slices of the baguette in each bowl. Sprinkle liberally with cheese and broil for 2 to 3 minutes, until the top is bubbling and brown. Serve immediately. Pass extra cheese at the table.
预热烤箱，把汤分到6只耐热碗里，每只碗里放两片面包，撒上奶酪，烤2-3分钟，直到表面开始冒泡或者变棕色，拿出来，再撒上一点儿奶酪即可开始享用~
