Caramelized Onion Soup

• 3 cups onions up to 4 cups carmelized, thickly sliced
• 3 cups water from onion cooking liquid
• 3 cups vegetable stock or nonfat chicken stock see note
• 1 x salt and black pepper to taste
• 8 slices french bread thick, toasted
• 1 x swiss cheese grated

1. Lora's way:
2. Combine the onions, cooking liquid and broth in a large pot placed over moderate heat.
3. (I had 2 cup of the onion cooking liquid after cooking them down in the crockpot so I used an extra 1 1/2 cup of water).
4. Stir occasionally as the soup comes to a simmer.
5. Add salt and pepper to taste (I didn't add any salt or pepper as I didn't think it needed it).
6. Preheat the broiler to high with the rack in the upper part of the oven.
7. Select 8 oven proof bowls and place them on a sturdy baking sheet or in a rimmed roasting pan.
8. Ladle the hot soup into the bowls and top with a slice of toast.
9. Sprinkle generously with cheese and broil until the cheese melts and begins to bubble (I didn't use the cheese).
10. Serve immediately.
