French Onion Soup   1

• 1/4 cup butter or margarine
• 4 cups onions (thinly sliced)
• 4 cans (10 ounce size) condensed beef broth (undiluted)
• 4 to 6 slices French bread (1 inch thick)
• 1/4 cup grated Gruyere cheese
• 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

Melt the butter in a large skillet and saute the onion until almost brown. Combine beef broth and sauteed onion in a medium saucepan and heat to boiling. Reduce the heat and simmer for 30 minutes while covered. Toast the French bread in the broiler on both sides. Sprinkle each slice with the grated cheeses and broil for 1 minute or until the cheese starts to bubble. Pour the soup into bowls and float the toast in the soup.
