1/4  cup                   butter or margarine
  4  cups                  onions, thinly sliced
  2  can (10.5 oz ea)      beef broth (bouillon)
3/4  cup                   COCA-COLA
  1  tsp                   salt
1/2  tsp                   vinegar

In a heavy saucepan, melt the butter/margarine. Add onions and cook until they are golden, do not brown. Add the undiluted beef broth, 1 soup can of water, Coca-Cola, salt, vinegar, and pepper. Cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes.

In a broiler, toast one side of the French bread slices. Turn and generously sprinkle with the Parmesan cheese. Toast until browned. Into deep bowls, ladle the soup and top with the toast, cheese-sided up. Makes 4 servings or about 6 cups.
