French Onion Soup in mere minutes!

French onion soup sounds way more complicated than it has to be.  You can whip this up in mere minutes, try it you'll love it!

2 Tbsp of butter
2 cups of thinly sliced sweet onions
4 cups beef broth
4 slices of a baguette
Thin slices of Gruyere cheese
Salt and pepper

In a large pot, melt butter and cook the onions until soft.  Meanwhile toast up your baguette slices in the oven for 5 minutes at 450 degrees.  Add the beef broth to the onions and season with salt and pepper to taste.  Bring to a boil and the soup is done!  Pour into individual bowls, place a baguette slice in each and top with pieces of Gruyere.  You then can place in the oven under the broiler until the cheese melts (make sure your bowls can go in the oven).  It was delicious...I had seconds and both Ben and our friend Sarah loved it!
