2 cans beef broth (or diluted beef stock)
1 large red onion, thickly sliced
3 dashes Tabasco
6 slices (about 1/8-inch thick) Provolone cheese
dry bread (commercial croutons are fine)

Combine broth, red onion and Tabasco in saucepan. Bring to boil, cover, reduce heat and simmer for at least 45 minutes.

Spoon into ovenproof bowls, add bread and cover with cheese slice. Boil in oven about 3-inches from heat until cheese is bubbly and slightly brown.
