Servings: persons

6 thinly sliced onions
3 tablespoons butter
6 cups beef broth
1 cup red wine
1 tsp fennel seeds
1/4 cup soy sauce
grated black pepper
splash of brandy or sherry
eight slices french bread, dry fried in garlic oil and butter(enough to toast them on both sides)
1 cup of grated emmentaler cheese

1
Fry onions in butter until browned but not burnt. I use a dutch oven so I don't make too many dishes.
2
Add beef broth, red wine, fennel seeds and soy sauce. Add pepper to taste.
3
Cover and simmer on low or in oven at 275 degrees F. Long enough to let the flavours develop.
4
Add a splash of brandy or sherry and adjust seasoning to taste.
5
Fry bread slices in a little butter with garlic or garlic oil - just enough so they are more toasted than really fried.
6
Put the bread slices on top of the soup, cover with grated cheese and broil until the cheese is golden. Serve.
