Total Calories: 268

Ingredients

1 pound yellow onion, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon brown sugar substitute
Fresh ground pepper
dash salt
1 tablespoon unbleached flour
1 quart low-sodium beef broth
1/3 cup vermouth
4 slices French bread, toasted (about 3/4-inch slices)
1 cup shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese

Directions:

1. In a large saucepot, sauté the onion in the oil for 15 minutes. Add the sugar, pepper, and salt. Simmer uncovered for 35 minutes, stirring occasionally, adding a little water if necessary. The onions will get very brown.

2. Add the flour and cook an additional 1 minute. Gradually add the beef broth and vermouth cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until thickened and bubbly. Reduce the heat and simmer for 20 minutes.

3. Ladle the soup into 4 individual oven-safe soup bowls. Top each bowl with a slice of bread and some cheese. Place under the broiler for 2 to 3 minutes. Carefully remove from the oven and serve.
