Maintain the rich flavour of this classic soup by stir-frying the onions in dry sherry and adding a dash of Worcestershire sauce.

Ingredients

Onion

2 medium, thinly sliced

Sherry (dry or sweet)

4 tbsp(s), or nonalcoholic wine

Canned fat-free beef broth

4 cup(s)

Worcestershire sauce

1 tsp(s)

French bread

4 slice(s)

Grated Parmesan cheese

2 tbsp(s), such as Parmigiano-Reggiano

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ºF (175ºC). In a large saucepan, combine onions and sherry and sauté for about 6 minutes, or until onions are tender.
  2. Add broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and cover; simmer for 10 minutes.
  3. Meanwhile, toast bread in oven until golden brown.
  4. Place one piece of toast into each of four bowls. Divide soup among bowls and top each with 1/2 tablespoon of grated cheese. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving.
