CARAMELIZED ONION SOUP WITH SWISS CHEESE & BASIL CROUTONS
This delish recipe comes from Southern Living. The original recipe said it serves 8, but I think it serves 4-6. It's just DH and I, so I cut the recipe in half and use 2 large oven-safe soup mugs. The amount is perfect for dinner plus seconds! Enjoy!

Steps:
- Sauté onions and garlic in oil and butter in a large soup pot over medium heat until soft and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
- Add black pepper and thyme to onions. Cook 1 minute. Then add red wine, cook about 1 minute while stirring and scraping any bits off the bottom of the pan.
- Add water and bouillon to pot. Bring soup to a boil. Reduce heat to low. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally for 20 minutes. (Double check to see if it needs any salt and pepper added to taste).
- In a bowl, combine cheese, basil, pepper and mayo. Spread over one side of each bread slice.
- Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls. Top each soup bowl with bread, cheese side up, making sure to cover entire soup surface with a layer of bread. (My soup mugs are quite large, so I use 2-3 baguette slices per serving).
- Broil 2-3 minutes until the cheese begins to melt and brown a bit.

BROCCOLI CHEESE (SWISS) SOUP - RACHAEL RAY
Please note: This recipe calls for 10 oz small yellow-fleshed potatoes (like Yukon Gold or similar). FYI, this is approx. 2 small potatoes. (It was difficult to write this out in the recipe, so i just decided to note it here.) This is a nice, filling soup that is easy to make. When I made this, I subbed about half the water with leftover chicken broth. However, I'm sure it tastes just as good (w/out the broth). This is part of a "two-for" recipe, which originally included a recipe for Ham-and-Swiss Toasts (for serving alongside) for a complete meal idea. I have posted the Ham and Swiss Toasts separately.

Steps:
- Heat the oil in a medium-sized pot. Saute the onion, garlic, and red bell pepper for 5-6 minutes, or until the peppers are tender. Add all of the remaining ingredients, except the cream and Swiss cheese. Bring to a boil then reduce the heat. Simmer for 10-12 minutes. Using a hand blender, puree the soup until nice and smooth. Gently stir in the cream and Swiss cheese. Garnish soup in bowls with raw red peppers, sun dried tomatoes and cheese if desired.
Tips:
- Use a good quality Swiss cheese. This will make all the difference in the flavor of your soup. Look for a cheese that is aged for at least 6 months.
- Grate the cheese fresh. This will help it melt smoothly into the soup.
- Don't boil the soup. This will cause the cheese to curdle.
- Add the cheese slowly. Stir constantly until it is melted.
- Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices to your liking.
- Serve the soup hot. Garnish with fresh herbs or croutons, if desired.
