French Onion Soup

I thought I would try another soup.  I found this recipe in the book: "Cook this, not that".  The recipe below makes 4 large servings.  I still do not like soup.

Ingredients:
1 Tbsp butter
5 medium onions, sliced (mixture of yellow and red)
1/2 tsp salt
2 bay leaves
6 cups chicken broth
1/2 cup dry red wine
4-5 sprigs fresh thyme
freshly cracked pepper
4 slices of baguette
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Directions:
1.  Heat the butter in a large pot over low heat.  Add the onions and salt.  Cover the pot and cook the onions over low heat until very soft and caramelized.  About 30 minutes.  Stir every 10 minutes or so.
2.  Add the bay leaves, broth, wine, and thyme.  Simmer on low heat for 15 minutes.  Season with pepper.  Discard the bay leaves,
3.  Preheat the broiler.  Divide the soup among 4 oven-proof bowls.  Top each with a slice of baguette and some cheese.  Broil until the cheese is melted and bubbling, about 3 minutes.
