Short Cut French Onion Soup - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) can of ready-made onion soup
1 roll of crusty French bread or 1 baguette
100 g comte cheese
30 30 ml kirsch (optional) or 30 ml whiskey (optional)

Preparation

Prepare the onion soup according to the can directions.
Cut the bread into 1 inch thick slices shaped to fit into the top of an onion soup bowl. Toast on both sides.
If desired, stir an alcohol based spirit into the soup (my favourite is cognac).
Ladle the soup into two onion soup bowls. Top with toasted rounds.
Spread grated cheese on top of the toast; place under broiler.
Broil until the cheese is melted and golden. Serve immediately.
