French Onion Soup

Ask anyone in my family, one of my favorite soups is French Onion. Here is a recipe so you can make your own.

2 tablespoons butter
2 cups thinly sliced onions (about 2 large onions)
4 cups beef broth
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
Dash of pepper
6 slices French bread, toasted
3/4 cup shredded Swiss Cheese

In a large saucepan melt butter. Stir in onions. Cook, covered, over medium-low heat for 8 to 10 minutes or till tender and golden, stirring occasionally. Stir in beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, and pepper. Bring to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, sprinkle toasted bread with shredded cheese. Place bread under broiler till cheese melts and turns light brown. To serve, ladle soup into bowls and float bread atop. Makes about 4 1/2 cups (6 side-dish servings).
