French Onion Soup

6 tbs pound lean ground beef	3 cloves of garlic, minced
3 lbs medium yellow onion halfed & thinly sliced	3 tbs all-purpose white flour
3/4 tsp sea salt	1 cup dry white wine
1 1/2 tbs balsamic vinegar	6 cups vegetable broth
1 1/2 tbs tamari	Black pepper to taste
1 1/2 tbs fresh thyme leaves
Topping
Baguette slices
Gruyere, aged cheddar, or Parmesan cheese
Fresh thyme

Directions:

Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the onions, salt, and several grinds of pepper and toss to combine. Reduce the heat to low and cook for about 40 minutes, stirring every few minutes, or until the onions are very soft.
Increase the heat to medium and cook 15 to 20 more minutes, stirring often, until golden brown. Add the vinegar, tamari, thyme, and garlic and stir. Sprinkle the flour on the onions, stir, and cook for 2 minutes.
Stir in the wine and cook 2 minutes, or until evaporated. Add the broth and simmer over medium heat for 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 450°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the baguette slices, topped with cheese, on the baking sheet and bake until the slices are toasted and the cheese is melted, 8 to 10 minutes.
Ladle the soup into ramekins or bowls and top each with a toasted baguette piece, fresh thyme, and a pinch of red pepper flakes, if desired.
