Other suggestions if you have time for better results, instead of French stick. Add croutons to the soup when you serve it in the soup bowls – put grated cheese on top, and melt the cheese till golden under a hot grill – then serve the soup like that – this is the real onion soup, but its time consuming, so I opt for the french stick.
