Ingredients

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 medium onion, thinly sliced

one 14-ounce can chicken stock

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

½ cube of beef bouillon

2 tablespoons dry sherry

¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Instructions

Preheat the broiler.

Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium-low heat until hot but not smoking. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, for 10 minutes, or until golden. Raise the heat to medium-high and add the chicken stock, Worcestershire sauce, bouillon, and sherry. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat and simmer for 3 minutes. Add the Parmesan, salt, and pepper, and simmer for another 3 minutes.

Transfer the soup to 2 large flameproof bowls and top each with half of the Swiss cheese. Broil for 3 to 4 minutes, until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Sprinkle the soup with nutmeg and serve immediately.
