How do they get away with charging extra for something this easy? The soup will only be as good as the beef stock so don't use cheap, salty bullion cubes. Make your own stock or use the kind of good soup base that restaurants use. (Tones brand is available at Sam's Club).

Ingredients

4 serv.
  • onions, sliced in rings2
  • butter1 tablespoon
  • olive oil1 tablespoon
  • beef stock (homemade or prepared, high quality beef soup base)4 cups
  • slices stale bread (preferably French or Italian)4
  • slices provolone cheese or 4 slices swiss cheese4

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 1

    Heat olive oil and butter together in a pan large enough to hold the onions and broth.

  2. 2

    Saute onions very gently in half olive oil and half butter until soft and golden but do not allow them to brown.

  3. 3

    Pour beef stock into the pan with the onions and simmer gently for 1/2 an hour.

  4. 4

    Season to taste with salt and pepper.

  5. 5

    Divide into oven-proof bowls. Float the stale bread on top.

  6. 6

    Cover with the cheese and broil until the cheese bubbles and browns.
