French Onion Soup with Provolone image

I adapted a basic recipe to copy the onion soup served at my favorite restaurant. No matter what my entree, I always ordered the soup. Now I can make it at home. It's a meal in itself or an impressive beginning to a full-course meal. -Barbara Brunner, Steelton, Pennsylvania

I used Gruyère cheese instead of Provolone and it was still delicious.

This soup was a bit too salty for my taste, but otherwise it was very good.
