SHORT CUT FRENCH ONION SOUP 
2 tbsp. butter
2 med. onions, sliced
2 (14 1/2 oz.) cans beef broth
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
1/8 tsp. ground thyme
4 1/2 inch thick slices French bread, toasted
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese

Combine butter and onions in a 2 quart casserole. Cover and microwave at high for 4 minutes, stirring after 2 minutes. Stir in beef broth, 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce, and ground thyme. Cover and microwave at high 8-12 minutes or until mixture comes to a boil. Divide half of soup among 4 bowls. Top each with a slice of French bread. Pour remaining soup over bread; sprinkle with cheese. Yields 4 servings.

Since microwave ovens vary in power, you may need to adjust your cooking time.
