This recipe was originally given to me by a French housewife on the Island of Crete in Greece many years ago. Over the years I have adapted/perfected it to fit my guests and my tastes. It is a hearty soup and can be used as a first course or a complete dinner on a cool fall or winter night.

Steps:
- Add oil to dutch oven and heat.
- Add onion, green onions and leeks and saute until translucent.
- Mix in flour to make a roux and saute until mixture just starts to turn golden.
- Add broth, wine (if used) and nutmeg.
- At this point taste the broth for flavor and seasoning. If the broth used does not meet your expectations, add a chicken or beef bullion cube or 1/2 teaspoon of chicken or beef base.
- Taste the broth again and make adjustments until you are satisfied with the intensity of flavor and the seasoning.
- Stir and simmer on low heat for 25 minutes
- Spoon into bowls that can be placed under the broiler, top with french bread and cheese.
- Place bowls in the broiler and broil until cheese melts and is bubbly.
