Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil

4 large onions -- thinly sliced

1 pinch sugar

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

4 cups vegetable broth

4 thick slices day-old French or sourdough bread -- crusts removed

1/2 cup grated Parmesan or Gruyere cheese

 

Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium-high heat. When it is hot, add the

onions. Reduce the heat to medium and saute, stirring often, until the onions

are very soft and limp, about 30 minutes. Add the sugar and balsamic vinegar,

and continue sauteing, stirring often, until the onions turn caramel brown,

about 10 minutes more.

 

Pour the broth into the saucepan and bring the mixture to a boil over

medium-high heat. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and simmer gently to allow the

broth to absorb the flavor of the onions, about 20 minutes.

 

Heat the broiler. While the soup is simmering, toast the bread.

 

When the soup is done, spoon it into 4 ovenproof soup bowls. Top each serving

with a slice of toast and sprinkle evenly with grated cheese. Place the bowls

on a baking sheet and carefully place them under the broiler, watching

constantly, until the cheese is bubbly, about 1 to 2 minutes. Serve right away.
