1 ts Salt

You might not imagine a tough World War II flying ace would open a
restaurant called "Mimi's," but that's exactly what happened in the
70's. Arthur J. Simms flew spy missions over France during the war
and helped liberate a small French town near Versailles. After the
war Arthur ran the commissary at MGM studios in Hollywood, stuffing
the bellies of big-time celebreties like Judy Garland, Clark Gable,
and Mickey Rooney. He later joined his son Tom in several restaurant
ventures including one called "French Quarter" in West Hollywood.
This was the prototype for the French-themed Mimi's Cafe. In 1978,
the first Mimi's opened in Anaheim, California. Today there's over 40
Mimi's in the chain with a new one opening every other week; all of
them serving this amazing onion soup that can now be part of your
culinary repertoire. Oui!

Saute onions in melted butter in a large soup pot or saucepan for 15
to 20 minutes or until onions begin to brown and turn transparent.

Add beef broth, salt, and garlic powder to onions. Bring mixture to a
boil, then reduce heat and simmer uncovered for 1 hour. Add the
grated parmesan cheese in the last 10 minutes of cooking the soup.

When soup is done, preheat oven to 350?F and toast the French bread
slices for about 10 to 12 minutes or until they begin to brown. When
bread is done, set oven to broil.

Build each serving of soup by spooning about 1 cup of soup into an
oven-safe bowl. Float a toasted slice or two of bread on top of the
soup, then add a slice of Swiss cheese on top of that. Place a slice
of mozzarella on next and sprinkle 1 tb shredded parmesan cheese over
the top of the other cheeses.

Place the soup bowl on a baking sheet and broil for 5 to 6 minutes or
until the cheese begins to brown.
