Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 large onions

Instructions:
| Step | Description |
|---|---|
| 1 | In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, covered, stirring occasionally, for about 15 minutes or until the onions are tender and caramelized. |
| 2 | Once the onions are caramelized, add the beef broth, Worcestershire sauce, salt, and pepper to the saucepan. Stir well to combine all the ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil. |
| 3 | While the soup is simmering, preheat your broiler. Place the slices of toasted bread on a baking sheet and sprinkle them generously with mozzarella cheese. Broil the bread until the cheese is melted and lightly browned. |
| 4 | Once the cheese is melted and bubbly, remove the toasted bread from the broiler. Place a slice or two of the cheesy bread in each serving bowl. |
| 5 | Ladle the hot French Onion Soup over the cheesy bread in each bowl, allowing the bread to soak up some of the flavorful broth. |
| 6 | For an extra indulgent touch, sprinkle additional mozzarella cheese on top of each bowl of soup. Serve hot and enjoy the deliciousness! |
