Ingredients:

2     cups          thinly-sliced onions
2     tablespoons   dry sherry, dry wine
                    or nonalcoholic wine
4     cups          beef broth
1     teaspoon      Worcestershire sauce
8     slices        baguette or 4 slices French bread
4     ounces        reduced-fat Jarlsberg cheese
                    (or 1 cup (4 oz) finely-shredded
                    reduced-fat Swiss cheese)
                    Sliced green onion tops

Directions: one line for each direction. When saved the lines will be numbered.

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.
This recipe yields 4 main-dish servings.
Comments: This lightened version of the classic soup became a favorite with the taste testers. For a delicious light meal or lunch, serve it with a tossed spinach or Caesar salad.
