Ingredients:

Directions:

  1. Peel and slice onions about 1/4 thick. Caramelize the onions in the olive oil in a large, heavy soup pot. This should take about 15 to 20 minutes. Onions should be soft. Add the sherry or marsala. Simmer gently for 3 to 5 minutes. Add stock, water and bay leaf. Stir well. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer. Simmer gently for about 15 - 20 minutes. Remove bay leaf.
  2. While soup simmers, dry the bread in a 400 degree oven, just until it begins to brown slightly and is crisp throughout. Cool briefly. Sprinkle the toasted bread with the shredded cheese. Return to oven and bake until cheese melts. Serve soup piping hot with 3 cheese toasts floating on top.
