In a large stock pot, melt the butter with the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the onions and stir continuously until the onions turn translucent. Do not let the onions burn.
Add the beef broth, sherry, and thyme. Salt and pepper to taste, and simmer for 30 minutes.
Set broiler to 400 degrees F.
Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls.
Put one slice of bread on top of each bowl of soup.

Put the bowls on a baking sheet and broil for about 5 minutes, until the cheese starts to bubble and brown.
Serve immediately.

Notes

This is a simplified French onion soup recipe; the classic recipe calls for gruyere cheese and a sliced French baguette. You can experiment with the type of cheese you use to make this recipe your own.
