Mushroom Soup Au Gratin

Mushroom Soup Au Gratin

This looks like French onion soup but has the rich mushroom flavor instead of onion. It is almost a meal itself so just add a salad and dinner is ready.

¼ tsp Each ground nutmeg and pepper 1 mL
4 slices French bread (1/2 in. /2.5 cm thick) toasted 4
4 oz grated or sliced Swiss cheese 120 g
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese (optional) 25 ml

In a large heavy saucepan heat oil over medium high heat; saute mushrooms, onions and garlic about 3-4 minutes or until lightly browned. Add chicken broth, lemon rind, nutmeg and pepper. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer, covered for 20 to 30 minutes.
Ladle soup into 4 deep ovenproof bowls. Float bread on top; sprinkle with Swiss cheese and Parmesan if using. Place under broiler until bubbly and lightly browned.
