Soup:

butter

lbs sweet onions (about 5 large or 8 cups sliced)

salt

black pepper (I did about 24 cranks of my peppermill)

low-sodium beef broth (I love Imagine organic because the sodium is particularly low)

sprigs of thyme (I really just grab a small bundle)

or 2 large sprigs of rosemary

bay leaves (if you've got 'em, if not don't buy them just for this)

cooking twine

Croutons:

slices of whole grain or whole wheat bread (about 50 calories per slice), each slice chopped into 12 cubes

garlic powder 

dried thyme

For Serving:
