to 1 1/2 hours, stirring frequently to prevent burning. Stir in flour and
cook an additional 5 minutes.

In a separate saucepan over high heat, bring chicken and beef stocks to a
boil. Add Cooked onions and sauterne, return to a boil, then cover, reduce
heat, and simmer 45 minutes. Before serving add brandy and salt and pepper
to taste.

Preheat broiler.

Ladle soup into individual ovenproof crocks, filling nearly to tops. Add a
crouton to each bowl and cover with 3 or 4 slices of cheese to cover entire
top of crock. Place crocks in a broiling pan and position under broiler
until cheese melts, browns lightly, and forms a crust over top of crock.
