French Onion Soup

This is a classic French Onion Soup recipe.  This is my mother's recipe and she'd been making this recipe ever since I can remember. This is a heart-warming soup that never fails to please. Enjoy it on a cold winter's night, when the wind is howling and the snow is falling.....

Ingredients:
1 can broth or bouillon
2-3 cups sliced onions
few drops of worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper
thyme
approx. 1/2 cup sherry
slices of french bread
Swiss or Gruyere Cheese

Brown onions in a stock pot in butter until softened and golden.  Add the remaining ingredients and simmer all for 20 minutes or so.

Transfer onions and broth to oven proof bowls.  Place a slice of bread on top of the soup and press lightly to absorb some of the broth.  Place slices of cheese on top of the bread.

Bake in a 400 degree oven for 10 minutes or until cheese is melted and bubbly.

Note:  approx. 1 onion per person plus one additional one.  I always use more broth than 1 can.
