Melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Add the onions and cook, stirring every few minutes, until they are deep amber and jammy. If they start to stick or brown too quickly, add a splash of the water to the pan to deglaze.
Stir in the beef broth, dried thyme, vinegar, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat and cook uncovered to let the flavors concentrate. Preheat the oven broiler while the soup simmers.
Remove the saucepan from the heat. In a small bowl, whisk the protein powder with the remaining water to create a smooth slurry. Whisk in two tablespoons of the warm broth into the slurry to temper it, then slowly stir the mixture back into the saucepan.
Ladle the soup into an oven-safe bowl. Top with the toasted sourdough bread and sprinkle with the shredded Swiss cheese. Place the bowl on a baking sheet and broil on the upper rack of the oven until the cheese is melted, bubbly, and browned. Done when cheese is bubbly and browned.
