Here's a recipe from Emeril BAM!
6 tablespoons butter
8 medium size onions, sliced thinly
4 thyme sprigs, leaves stripped
1/2 cup sherry
4 cups brown chicken stock
2 cups veal stock
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
French bread croutons
2 cups grated Gruyere cheese
In a large saucepan or Dutch oven, add butter and melt over medium heat. Add the onions and lower the heat to medium low. Add the thyme leaves and cook, stirring frequently, until the onions start to turn golden brown, about 25 minutes. Add the sherry and cook until the sherry is almost completely evaporated and the onions are brown, about 15 minutes.
Add the stocks and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to a simmer and simmer for 30 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F.
Ladle the soup into 8 oven-proof soup bowls. Place the soup bowls on a sheet pan. Place the croutons on top of the soup, to cover. Top each bowl with 1/2 cup grated cheese. Place in the oven and cook until the cheese is golden brown and bubbly, about 10 minutes.
Buy some Campbell's French Onion Soup, Coles frozen garlic toast and some provolone cheese. Nuke the soup, put the toasted bread in a bowl, pour the soup over the bread, lay the cheese slices on top, stick it in the oven to melt and toast the cheese a little. O0
I make it all the time and it's always a hit. No one ever knows it's not "homemade."
Oh, and BAM!

That is basically what I do except different kind of bread, provalone cheese, and boulion
