This classic French Onion Soup Au Gratin features sweet Bermuda onions slowly caramelized to golden perfection in butter, then simmered with rich beef broth and a splash of dry sherry. The secret touch of Worcestershire sauce adds depth to the savory broth. Served in individual oven-proof bowls topped with crusty bread and a bubbling crown of Gruyere and Parmesan cheese, this comforting soup makes an impressive first course or light meal that freezes beautifully for later enjoyment.
