| 1. Heat a heavy saucepan over medium-low heat with the butter and bacon fat. | 2. Stir in the onions and cover. | 3. Cook slowly, stirring once or twice, until onions are tender and translucent, about 12 minutes. | 4. Stir in the salt and sugar, increase the heat to medium, and let the onions cook, stirring just enough to prevent burning, until brown (25 to 30 minutes). | 5. Sprinkle the flour and cook slowly, stirring constantly, for another 3 to 4 minutes. | 6. Remove from heat and whisk in 2 cups of hot stock. | 7. Return to the heat and bring to a simmer, adding the rest of the stock, thyme, Cognac, and wine. | 8. Cover and simmer over low heat for 1 1/2 hours. | 9. Remove thyme sprig and simmer a further 15 minutes, adding a little water if the liquid reduces too much. Taste for seasoning. | 10. Divide the soup between 6 ovenproof bowls. | 11. Arrange toast on top of soup and sprinkle 1/4 cup of grated cheese on top of each croute. | 12. Place bowls on a baking sheet and place under a preheated broiler until cheese melts and forms a crust over the tops of the bowls. | 13. Serve immediately. | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
