4 sl Bread
Cook onions in butter until they begin to change color, let some of them actually brown. Add broth and wine and bring to a boil. Simmer 10 to 15 minutes Check seasoning Slightly toast bread slices. Place some of the onion soup in each of 4 oven proof individual bowls Place 1 toast in ea bowl Pour rest of soup to fill up to 4/5 of bowl. Toast will rise to the surface. Sprinkle plenty of cheese on top of toast. Bake in 350 oven for 15 minutes. Turn to broil 10 minutes or until a crust forms. Note: I some times add pieces of Gouda in the bottom of the bowls.( but then it"s not authentic, yet it makes it just even more delicious)
