- Add wine and broth and cook, uncovered, 10 minutes at a gentle simmer (bubbling, but not boiling).
- Meanwhile, heat up your broiler and line a baking sheet with foil.
- Using a 6 cm round biscuit cutter, cut bread slices into rounds (discard excess)- you may also use a glass.
- Set bread rounds on foil lined pan and sprinkle with cheese and broil only about 1 minute- just to melt cheese.
- Test soup- season well with salt and pepper.
- Soup is ready when onions are tender- broth will be very clear& pinkish in color.
- Ladle into bowls and float a bread round on top of each bowlful, garnishing with some extra fresh marjoram if desired.
