Preparation:

Pour bouillon in crockpot; cover and set on high. Cook onions slowly in large skillet in margarine; cover and let cook for about 15 minutes. Uncover and add salt, sugar and flour. Stir well. Add to stock in crockpot. Cover and cook on low for 6-8 hours. Add sherry anytime during the last 2-3 hours of cooking. NOTE: The sugar aids the browning process. Place a slice of french bread in each serving dish. Place a slice of jack, mozzarella or similar cheese over the bread. Pour hot soup over this combination. The result is wonderful!!!!
