This is a classic soup belonging in every collection. Here, though, we eliminated some of the fat calories but reducing the amount of cheese and the type.
Ingredients
2cupsthinly sliced onions
2tablespoonsdry sherrydry wine or nonalcoholic wine
4cupsbeef brothdefatted
1teaspoonWorcestershire sauce
8slicesbaguette or 4 slices French breadtoasted
4ouncesJarlsberg cheese (or similar) reduced fatcut into 4 slices,
In a large saucepan, combine the onions and sherry or wine. Cook and stir until the onions are tender. Add the broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes to blend the flavors.
Meanwhile, place the bread slices on a cookie sheet. If necessary, cut the cheese slices in half to fit the bread. Place the cheese on top of the bread. Broil just until the cheese melts.
To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and float the bread on top of each.
If desired, sprinkle with the green onion tops.
Spa Index Kitchen Notes
We love Sargento Ultra Thin sliced cheeses because they allow full-fat flavor with paper-thin calorie savings. One slice is approximately 40 calories, but that one slice has more flavor than intentionally low-fat or fat-free cheeses (none of which we actually love).
