Steps:
- In a large Dutch oven or soup pot, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the oil, onions, salt, pepper, and sugar. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon, until onions are deep golden brown and caramelized, 45 to 55 minutes. In the beginning, you will only need to stir the onions only occasionally. As they start to brown midway through cooking, you will need to stir them frequently, scraping the fond (the brown particles) from the bottom of the pan. If the onions are browning too quickly, reduce the heat slightly or add a few tablespoons of water to deglaze the pan and continue cooking.
- Add the wine and raise the heat to high. Cook, stirring with a wooden spoon to scrape any fond from the bottom of the pan, until almost all of the liquid has evaporated and the onions are jammy, 8 to 10 minutes.
- Add the flour and cook, stirring constantly, for one minute.
- Add the broth, Worcestershire sauce, thyme, and bay leaves to the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat to a simmer, and cook, covered, for about 30 minutes.
- While the soup simmers, preheat the oven to 400°F and set an oven rack in the middle position. Arrange the baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake until the bread is dry, crisp, and golden at edges, about 10 minutes. Set aside.
- When the soup is finished, remove the bay leaves and add the sherry; taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. If the soup needs a deeper flavor, try a few shakes of Worcestershire sauce. If it's not quite sweet enough, add ¼ teaspoon sugar.
- Adjust an oven rack 6 inches from broiler element and heat broiler. Set individual broiler-safe crocks on a baking sheet and divide the hot soup among the crocks (be sure the soup is very hot as it won't warm up much in the oven). Top each crock with 1 or 2 baguette slices (do not overlap slices) and sprinkle evenly with Gruyère and then Parmigianno Reggiano. Slide the crocks into the oven and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbly around edges, 3 to 5 minutes. Let the crocks cool for a few minutes before serving. (Alternatively, if using regular soup bowls: Top each toast slice with some cheese and return to broiler to melt, about 2 minutes more. Divide the soup among bowls and top each serving with two cheese toasts.)
- Make-Ahead Instructions: The soup can be made and refrigerated up to 3 days ahead (without toasts or cheese), or up to 3 months ahead and frozen. Toasts can be made (without the cheese) and kept sealed at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Steps:
- In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter/margarine. Add onions and cook until they are golden, do not brown.
- Add the undiluted beef broth, 1 soup can of water, Coca-Cola, salt, vinegar, and pepper. If the beef taste is not quite there you might want to add some beef boulon to this. Cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes.
- In deep bowls add croutons, ladle soup and top with swiss cheese and sprinkel on Parmesan cheese.
- Microwave for 25 seconds to melt cheese.
- Makes 4 servings or about 6 cups.
Tips:
- Use a variety of onions: Yellow, white, and red onions all contribute different flavors to the soup, so use a mix of them for the best results.
- Caramelize the onions slowly: This may take up to 30 minutes, but the slow cooking process is what gives the onions their rich flavor and color.
- Use a good quality beef broth: The broth is the base of the soup, so it's important to use a good quality one. Look for a broth that is made with real beef bones and has a rich flavor.
- Add a splash of red wine: Red wine adds a nice depth of flavor to the soup. If you don't have any red wine, you can use beef broth instead.
- Use a variety of cheeses: Gruyère and Emmental are the classic cheeses for French onion soup, but you can also use other types of cheese, such as Swiss, mozzarella, or cheddar.

Coca-Cola French onion soup is a delicious and easy-to-make soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The Coca-Cola adds a unique sweetness and flavor to the soup that makes it truly special.
