- Slice, butter, and lightly toast French bread under broiler in oven. Put soup into 6 ceramic (oven safe) bowls. Float a slice on soup in each bowl. Cover bread with cheese. Broil 1-2 min. Serve.
- Note – Chateau Ste. Michelle Johannesburg Riesling works especially well in this soup.
- USE THIS STOCK RECIPE and adjust the amount of wine to taste since the stock recipe uses wine to deglaze the roasting pan.
