Instructions

  1. Heat oil in a large pot.
  2. Saute garlic slices and chopped marjoram 2 minutes.
  3. Add the onion slices and cook about 5 minutes (or longer if you like them very soft).
  4. Add wine and broth and cook, uncovered, 10 minutes at a gentle simmer (bubbling, but not boiling).
  5. Meanwhile, heat up your broiler and line a baking sheet with foil.
  6. Using a 6 cm round biscuit cutter, cut bread slices into rounds (discard excess)- you may also use a glass.
  7. Set bread rounds on foil lined pan and sprinkle with cheese and broil only about 1 minute- just to melt cheese.
  8. Test soup- season well with salt and pepper.
  9. Soup is ready when onions are tender- broth will be very clear& pinkish in color.
  10. Ladle into bowls and float a bread round on top of each bowlful, garnishing with some extra fresh marjoram if desired.
