Guinness French Onion Soup recipe

I love french onion soup so I am going to try this Guinness French Onion Soup recipe.

Ingredients
2 tablespoons butter
4 pounds onions, sliced
2 cloves garlic, chopped
1 teaspoon thyme, chopped
2 tablespoons butter
1/4 cup flour
3 cups Guinness or other Irish Stout
3 cups beef or vegetable broth
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon grainy mustard
2 bay leaves
salt and pepper to taste
4 1/2 inch thick slices of day old bread, toasted
1 cup white cheddar, shredded
Directions
Melt the butter in a large sauce pan over medium heat, add the onions and cook until completely caramelized and golden brown, about 1 hour, mixing every 10-15 minutes and adding water or Guinness to deglaze the pan as needed to prevent burning.
Add the garlic and thyme and cook until fragrant, about a minute.
Add the butter, let it melt, mix in the flour and let it cook for 2-4 minutes.
Add the stout and deglaze the pan.
Add the broth, Worcestershire sauce, grainy mustard, bay leaves, salt and pepper, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes.
Ladle the soup into oven-proof bowls on a baking sheet, top with the sliced bread and cheese and broil until cheese melts, about 1-3 minutes.
