[recipe-directions]
- In a large cast-iron skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the cabbage, onions, garlic, thyme sprigs, and bay leaves, cover the pot, reduce the heat to medium-low and cook, stirring occasionally to avoid burning, for 45-60 minutes or until very soft and tender.
- Stir in the wine and bring to a simmer until most of the wine is evaporated. Add the broth and return to a simmer to heat through. Season to taste with salt and pepper and remove the thyme sprigs and bay leaf.
- Meanwhile, place the bread on a baking sheet and broil on low for about 5 minutes, until crisp but not dark brown. Watch carefully to avoid burning.
- Cover the soup in the skillet with toasted bread. Cover the bread with shredded cheese and lace under the broiler for 2-3 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully to avoid burning. Serve hot.
