If you’ve got other uses for caramelized onions (and hey, who doesn’t?), double the quantities of onions and oil, and remove half of them in the morning before proceeding with the soup.

6 large onions, halved and sliced thin

2 tablespoons olive oil
•
3 sprigs fresh thyme, or 1 1/2 teaspoons dried, divided

1/2 cup apple juice or cider

Salt and pepper

1 bay leaf

4 slices crusty bread (I used a sprouted wheat, but traditionally it’s made with, duh, French bread)
