French Onion Soup

This is the recipe for the soup Sameera made for our French cook-a-thon. It was amazingly simple, and tasted really good with the bread and cheese topping. Mmmmmm. I didn't have any oven safe bowls, so we broiled the bread with cheese separately and then placed it on the soup before serving.
