Onion soup with chicken meatballs

I have seen this in a couple of different recipes, but always felt as if they were lacking something. My addition of using beer and better than bullion beef broth, and essentially a chicken broth with lots of thyme and a swirl of tomato paste gives this the body that I felt was lacking in the other recipes. Be sure to bake the meatballs on parchment paper, because they form a delicious crust on the bottom with the melted Gruyere cheese. If you use aluminum foil, this crust will be ripped off.
