French Onion Soup

We are big fans of French Onion Soup and I was worried that a Weight Watchers French Onion Soup would not live up to what we have been used to.  It was not the same but it was a good substitution overall. 

It is only 3 points per serving and the recipe serves 4.  It is also a quick and easy weeknight meal when it is cold and dreary outside. 

Ingredients:

2 medium onion(s), thinly sliced
4 Tbsp dry sherry, or nonalcoholic wine
4 cup(s) fat-free beef broth
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
4 slice(s) French bread
2 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese, such as Parmigiano-Reggiano
Instructions:

Preheat oven to 350ºF. In a large saucepan, combine onions and sherry; sauté until onions are tender, about 6 minutes.

Add broth and Worcestershire sauce. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, toast bread in oven until golden brown.

Place one piece of toast into each of four bowls. Divide soup among bowls and top each with 1/2 tablespoon of grated cheese. Yields about 1 1/2 cups per serving.
