How do you make french onion soup?

This is really easy, you need:
1 tablespoon olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
6 med onions, sliced thin
Salt and pepper to taste
1 bay leaf
1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
6 cups beef stock
Thick, crusty bread
2 to 3 cups Swiss cheese

Heat oil and butter in a deep pot, slice onions and add to pot, make sure oil and butter don't burn.  Add salt and pepper, poultry seasoning and bay leaf.  Cook onions until Carmel color (about 15 minutes).  Add stock cover pot and bring to boil.  Then remove bay leaf and preheat broiler to high.   Arrange crocks or bowels on a cookie sheet.  Ladle into bowls float slice of bread and top with mound of cheese.  Heat until cheese melts, remove and enjoy!

I have never attempted to make it from scratch.  I don't think I have ever eaten a bowl of it either.....just a taste of it when my husband has ordered it at a restaurant.

To me the melted cheese on top is the best part.....but the recipe shared here by Nnncy5 looks easy enough.  And it even sounds Good to me!  I might be converted to liking it.
