Onion Soup With Cheese Crostini
- Soup:
- 1 teaspoon butter
- 2 cups thinly sliced onion (about 2 medium)
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1/4 cup dry red wine
- 1 1/2 cups fat-free, less-sodium chicken broth
- 1 1/2 cups water
- 1/8 teaspoon dried thyme
- Remaining ingredients:
- 2 (1/2-inch-thick) slices diagonally cut French bread baguette, toasted
- 2 tablespoons grated Gruyere cheese
- To prepare soup, melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add onion, sugar, and pepper to pan. Cook 15 minutes or until golden brown, stirring occasionally. Stir in wine; cook 2 minutes or until wine almost evaporates. Add broth, 1 1/2 cups water, and thyme; bring to a boil. Cook until reduced to 2 1/2 cups (about 15 minutes). Place 1 1/4 cups soup into each of 2 ovenproof soup bowls. Place bowls on a baking sheet.
- Preheat broiler.
- Top each serving with 1 slice baguette. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon cheese over each serving. Broil for 3 minutes or until cheese melts. Serve immediately.
