Tips:
1. White onions are best used for onions, and purple onions will be more spicy.
2. Be patient when sautéing the onions. Use low heat for about 10 minutes until brown, so that the onion soup will be more fragrant.
3. For the cheese, I use sliced cheddar cheese, or mozzarella.
4. If you don't have chicken broth, you can also use Gumbo Soup instead.
