To make French Onion Soup
Proceed with recipe, deglazing the pot with dry sherry instead of white wine. Press Cancel. Add 6 cups beef or mushroom broth, 1 bay leaf. Select the Sauté function and adjust to high. Simmer uncovered, stirring occasionally, until flavors have melded, 15 minutes. Ladle soup into oven-safe bowls set on a rimmed baking sheet. Place a slice of stale baguette in each bowl and sprinkle generously with shredded Gruyere cheese. Slide baking sheet under broiler and broil until the cheese is browned and bubbly, 3 minutes.
