  3. Cook until the onions are very soft and caramelized for about 25 minutes.
  4. Deglaze it with wine and reduce until the wine has evaporated and the onions are dry, about 5 minutes.
  5. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. Add the beef broth, bring the soup back to a boil, and cook for another 10 minutes.
