Ingredients

1 tablespoon butter
1 large onion very thinly sliced
1 tablespoon brown sugar
10 1/2 ounces beef broth condensed
1 1/2 cups water
1/2 teaspoon black pepper ground
4 slices french bread 1 inch thick, toasted
1/4 cup jarlsberg cheese reduced fat, coarsely grated
1 tablespoon parsley leaves fresh, chopped

Directions

NOTE: For best results, use a sweet onion, such as Vidalia or Texas Sweet, in this classic soup recipe. When microwaved, these high-sugar onions cook more quickly and are less bitter than more pungent varieties.

In 2-quart microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter on high 20 seconds or until melted.

Stir in onion and brown sugar.

Cover with waxed paper and microwave on medium (50 percent) 5 minutes.

Stir in undiluted broth and water; cover with paper and microwave on medium 10 minutes, stirring after 5 minutes.

Stir in pepper. (Soup can be made ahead up to this point and kept refrigerated; reheat before next step).

Place bread slices on microwave-safe plate; divide cheese among slices.

Microwave on high 20 seconds or until cheese is just melted.

To serve, divide soup among 4 small soup bowls; place one cheese topped bread slice in each bowl and top with parsley.

Serve immediately.

Mayonnaise Chocolate Cake

I have not made this yet, but my mother made mayonnaise cakes when I was a child ( I'm 45) and she got the recipe from my grandmother. It sounds just like what my mother used to make. If it is as good as that, the cake is not only FABULOUS, but so easy. Its a great cake to make at the spur of the moment and also, you don't need any eggs! It is moist and delicious. I came to the library just to use the internet to locate this recipe and was suprised to find it in no time. Thanks to whomever is responsible for making it available. Kris
