Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | tablespoon | Butter |
| 1 | large | (about 1/2 lb) onion, very thinly sliced |
| 1 | tablespoon | Brown sugar |
| 1 | can | (10 1/2-oz) condensed beef broth |
| 1½ | cup | Water |

| ¼ | cup | Coarsely grated reduced-fat Jarlsberg cheese |

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.
1. In 2-quart microwave-safe bowl, microwave butter on high (100 percent) 20 seconds or until melted. Stir in onion and brown sugar.
Cover with waxed paper and microwave on medium (50 percent) 5 minutes.
2. 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 Step 3.)
3. Place bread slices on microwave-safe plate; divide cheese among slices. Microwave on high 20 seconds or until cheese is just melted.
4. To serve, divide soup among 4 small soup bowls; place one cheese-topped bread slice in each bowl and top with parsley. Serve immediately.
