Number Of Ingredients 12

2 teaspoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
5 large onions, halved and thinly sliced (about 3 lbs)
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
6 cups roasted vegetable broth or 6 cups low sodium vegetable broth

1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon sherry wine vinegar
6 slices sourdough bread, toasted (1/2 inch thick)
