French Onion Soup




List of Ingredients



• 4 med. onions, sliced
  
• 2 Tbsp. butter
  
• 2 cans (10 1/2 oz) beef broth
  
• 1 1/2 c. water
  
• 1 bay leaf
  
• 1/8 tsp. pepper

• 4 slices (3/4 - 1") French bread
  
• 1 c. shredded Swiss cheese

Instructions



1. In 3 qt. saucepan over low heat, melt butter; add sliced onions. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 20-30 minutes. Add broth, water, bay leaf, pepper and thyme. Increase heat and heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 15 minutes.
   
   
2. Place bread slices on cookie sheet; broil 5" from heat until golden brown, approximately 1 minute. Turn; repeat. Place toasted bread slices in oven-proof bowls or individual casseroles. Add broth and onions; top with Swiss cheese. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.
