PS: Don't bother with the jar type of grated parmesan because it tastes yucky in the broth ;-)
Place ingredients in a two cup coffee mug, heat in microwave for 1 minute 30 seconds, stir, top with fresh parmesan if desired and serve.

This is an easy recipe. The hardest part of it is slicing the onions thinly enough.
Saute' onions in oil until transparent and thoroughly cooked. Add broth and black pepper. Simmer 30 minutes. Divide into 6 ovenproof casseroles or bowls.
Cut onions in halves and slice with the grain about 1/8 inch thick
Heat a deep pot over medium to medium high heat. Work next to the stove to slice onions. Add oil and butter to the pot. Add onions to the pot as you slice them.
Anyone have a simple recipe for french onion soup? I need a recipe that is "restaurant good" but "canned soup" quick!
