Laddle into a bowl, add two slices of french bread, place thinly sliced cheese so it covers the entire top of the bowl, broil until the cheese bubles and browns, let cool.
Enjoy.
I make this every three weeks at home, and freeze it for lunches, makes a great meal.

My mouth was already watering, then I saw Guinness and got really, really excited. French Onion Soup is my favourite, especially on a cold windy prairie day.. I am going to make this on the weekend. Thank you sir, thank you.
Edit: How long do you usually let it cool for? With French Onion Soup I always find that the heat just stays trapped under the bread, and I just face the inevitable/get tired of waiting and burn the crap out of mouth while enjoying the goodness. Is there a trick I am missing.
Also, how many servings(ish) does this make?
