French onion soup. It has a think piece of crusty bread and then the bread is topped with either gruyere, mozzerella, or swiss, cheddar or jack cheese. Here's a recipe:

Answer 4

It's French Onion Soup. I've seen various cheeses mentioned in recipes, ranging from Gruyere (a form of Swiss Cheese) to Provolone and Mozzarella. Personally, I like to use a blend of Gruyere and Mozzarella, with the latter adding a mellow flavor and allowing the cheeses to get very gooey and stringy. Gruyere melts ok, but doesn't get that all-over kind of gooeyness that makes eating the soup fun.

Answer 5

French Onion. And the cheese is usually on a crouton or slice of sourdough in the bowl. Some places do it backwards (to me) by putting the bread with melted cheese on the bottom of the cup and THEN adding the soup.

Either way, it's delish!
