This mellow, rich-tasting onion soup is such a main-stay for our family that I felt compelled to share the recipe. Topped with toasted French bread and melted cheese, it's special to serve. -Margaret Adams, Pacific Grove, California

Ingredients

1 medium yellow onion
1 medium red onion
1 medium leek (white portion only)
5 green onions with tops
1 garlic clove, minced
2 tablespoons butter
2 cans (14-1/2 ounces each) beef broth
1 can (10-1/2 ounces) condensed beef consomme, undiluted
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1 cup shredded Swiss cheese
6 slices French bread (3/4 inch thick), toasted
6 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions

Slice all onions and leek 1/4 in. thick. In a large saucepan over medium-low heat, saute onions and garlic in butter until tender and golden, about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add broth, consomme, Worcestershire sauce and nutmeg; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 30 minutes.
Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of Swiss cheese in the bottom of 6 ovenproof 8-oz. bowls. Ladle hot soup into bowls. Top each with a slice of bread. Sprinkle with remaining Swiss cheese and Parmesan cheese if desired.
Broil 6-8 in. from the heat until cheese melts. Serve immediately.
