Ingredients

• ¼ cup butter
• 1 pint heavy cream
• 2 cups beef broth
• 3 slices Swiss cheese
• 3 slices provolone cheese
• Salt and pepper, to taste
• 2 onions, halved and thinly sliced
• 3 slices French bread

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Preheat oven to broiler setting.

Step 2

Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onions and cook until softened, 5 to 8 minutes. Stir in the heavy cream and beef broth. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer, loosely covered, for 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

Step 3

Top each slice of bread with one slice of provolone and one slice of Swiss cheese; place on a cookie sheet. Broil on top oven rack until the cheese browns and the edges of the bread are crispy, 3 to 5 minutes.

Step 4

To serve, ladle soup into 3 bowls and top with one slice of the cheese-topped bread.
