FRENCH ONION AND BROCCOLI SOUP 
2 (10 1/2 oz.) cans condensed French onion soup
1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen chopped broccoli
4 (3/4 inch thick) slices French bread
6 oz. Gruyere or Fontina cheese, shredded
1/4 c. chopped parsley

Preheat broiler if manufacturer directs. In 4-quart saucepan, mix soup with water as label directs and add frozen broccoli; over high heat, heat to boiling. Reduce heat to low; simmer 8 to 10 minutes until broccoli is cooked.

Meanwhile, place French bread slices in jelly-roll pan. Place jelly roll pan in broiler and toast bread until golden on both sides. Spoon onion-soup mixture into 4 (16 oz.) oven-safe soup bowls or crocks. Place 1 slice toasted French bread on soup in each bowl; top with cheese.

Place soup bowls in jelly roll pan for easier handling. Broil until cheese melts and top is golden brown. Sprinkle soup with chopped parsley. Makes 4 servings.
