Notes: Additional serving suggestions:
To serve this soup with swiss cheese: Slice very thin or grate 1/2 pound of cheese. Place 1/3 of the toasted bread in the bottom of a soup kettle or pyrex dish. Sprinkle ( or cover) with one third the cheese. Make 3 such layers. Pour onion soup with or without milk over. Cover and place in a 400.º F. oven for 10 minutes.
To make gratinée onion soup: For a good gratin use a dish that is wider than it is high, so that the oven heat is spread over a larger surface. A few minutes before serving, pour the onion soup in the dish, Top with toasted bread and sprinkle generously with grated or sliced cheese. Pour 1 tablespoon of lightly peppered melted butter over the cheese. Place in a 500º F. oven to obtain a lovely golden crust (from 10 to 20 minutes) Serve immediately.
