How to make it
- Preheat oven to 325°F. Bake bread pieces 15 to 20 minutes or until lightly golden and crisped. Set aside.
- Sauté sliced onions in olive oil and butter over medium heat until onions become translucent but not brown. Add minced garlic cloves to onions during last few minutes, making sure garlic does not brown.
- Stir in beef broth, wine and seasonings.
- Bring to a boil; reduce, heat and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes. Adjust seasonings to taste adding salt and pepper as required. Remember that Parmesan cheese is salty, so don't overdo with the salt.

- Place serving bowls under broiler set on high. Broil six to seven minutes or until cheese is bubbly and has some browning.
