1 loaf French Bread
2 T butter or margarine
1 T vegetable oil

1 c. water
1/3 c. dry red wine
1 c. shredded Swiss cheese
¼ c. grated parmesan cheese

Heat butter and oil in a 4 qt. pan over medium-low heat, add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until soft and carmel colored (30-40 minutes). Stir in flour and cook for 2 minutes to brown lightly.  Pour in slowly about 1 c. broth, stirring to blend flour and broth.  Add remaining broth, water and wine.  Bring mixture to a boil; cover, reduce heat and simmer for 30 minutes.  Season to taste.
