3 ounces Butter
1 pound Large white onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon All purpose flour
1 1/2 quart Vegetable stock (The best way to make this stock is with "Better Than Boullion" brand vegetable base. It has a ton of flavor)
salt and freshly ground pepper
extra virgin olive oil
garlic powder
6 slices Crusty French bread (or use twice as many smaller slices)
Grated fresh parmesan cheese
Slices of aged swiss cheese (as needed to cover)
Directions:
Melt butter in a large saucepan/pot. Add the onions and cook over low heat, stirring constantly for about 20 minutes until they become soft and golden. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 2 minutes.
Pour in the stock, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over very low heat 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Toast one side of the bread slices under the broiler, flip over, drizzle olive oil, shake garlic powder lightly, sprinkle parmesan cheese on them and broil again until cheese is melted.
Divide the slices among individual small flameproof soup bowls. If the bread is small, you can place one and half or two pieces on the bottom. Pour the soup into the bowls, sprinkle more parmesan on top and lay slices of Swiss cheese to cover the entire opening of the bowl.
It's better if you let the cheese hang slightly over the edge so that it melts to the bowl and makes crusty cheese pieces to pick off (my personal favorite).

Quarter 2.5 LARGE yellow or white (not sweet) onions per person. Slice about 1/4-1/2 inches thick.
Fry in just a little olive oil. Do not add salt at this time.
Allow these to cook until dark and carmelized. VERY dark.
add
bay leaf
(optional) garlic to taste
marjoram (traditional)
white wine to taste
vegetable broth to make it 'soupy' as you like
season to taste
Serve with a crouton of toasted bread.
(If you're lacto), Butter one side and float the butter side down (prevents sinking) cover with your choice of cheese - emmental, gruyere, swiss, whatever...avoid mozzarella, too stringy.
Place under a broiler until the cheese toasts and enjoy!
Best wishes

Any of those recipes sound great (apart from the stupid one about adding onions to chicken broth & stirring - this is the Vegetarian & Vegan section!). Just make sure that any cheese you use is suitable for vegetarians, ie not made with rennet taken from the stomachs of dead calves.
