French Onion Soup

1/2 cup (1 stick) butter
4 white onions, peeled and sliced thinly
1 cup extra-dry vermouth
1 teaspoon sugar
8 cups vegetable, chicken or beef stock
Salt and pepper to taste
6 slices French bread
2 cups shredded Gruyère or mozzarella cheese

In a large, heavy, Dutch oven or saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter and stir in the onion, vermouth and sugar. Sauté, stirring frequently, until the onion has caramelized and turned a deep golden brown, about 30 minutes.

Stir in the stock and season with salt and pepper to taste. To serve, ladle the soup into heat-proof crocks and float a slice of French bread on top. Cover with shredded cheese and place under a broiler just until cheese is bubbling and begins to brown. Serve immediately.
Makes 6 servings.
