INGREDIENTS

-  1lb chuck stew beef
-  4 Cups water
-  2 Tbs olive oil
-  1 to 2 large sweet onion
-  1 1/2 Tbs of marsala - Optional - can substitute red wine if desired
-  2 to 3 Tbs Worcestershire Sauce
-  1 cube beef bouillon
-  1 cube chicken bouillon
-   8 ounces of butter
-  1 large bay leaf
-  mozzarella, swiss, or Gruyere cheese
-  2 to 4 slices of crusty bread.
-  1/2 tspn thyme.  -Optional

DIRECTIONS

1.  In a large pan heat up olive oil over medium high heat.  Add beef and sear on both sides and season with salt and pepper to taste.

2.  Add water and deglaze pan.  Add beef and chicken bouillon cubes.  Allow to simmer for 10 minutes then remove beef from liquid.

3.  Stir bay leaf, thyme, worcetershie sauce, and marsala into broth.  Continue to simmer 10 minutes then taste.  I don't think you'll need to add salt due to the Worcestershire sauce and bouillon cubes but that's up to you.

4.  Remove broth from pan and set aside.

5.  Slice onions into rings then halve the rings.

6.  Add butter to pan over medium high heat then add onions.

7.  After 5 minutez , reduce heat and allow onions to caramelize slowly.  When they're translucent and/or brown, they're ready.  You decide how you want them.

8.  Add broth back to caramelized onions, bring to a simmer then reduce heat to low.  Taste for seasoning.

9.  Add cheese to bread and toast til cheese is gooey and golden.

10.  Fill bowl with soup and place cheesy toast on top.  

11.   Serve and enjoy!!!
