Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

1/4 cup vegetable broth

4 medium yellow onions -- sliced

1/8 teaspoon sugar

2 tablespoons flour

5 cups vegetable broth

1/2 cup dry white wine

1/2 teaspoon ground thyme

1 bay leaf

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon brandy

4 slices toasted French bread -- about ¼ inch thick-sliced

1 clove garlic -- split lengthwise

2 tablespoons grated fat-free Parmesan cheese

 

In a large heavy saucepan, heat the vegetable broth and onion. Cook uncovered

for 10 minutes or until onions are golden. Add sugar and flour while stirring

for three minutes. Add 5 cups vegetable broth, wine, thyme, bay leaf and pepper.

Raise to high heat and bring to a boil for about 6 minutes, stirring constantly.

Adjust heat and partly cover so mixture simmers for 30 minutes.

 

Remove and discard bay leaf, then stir in brandy. Preheat the broiler. Rub each

piece of toast with garlic clove and sprinkle with cheese. Ladle the soup into 4

flameproof bowls and float a piece of toast, cheese side up, in each one. Place

the bowls in the broiler, 4 to 6 inches from the heat, and broil for about 2

minutes or until the cheese is golden brown.
