I found out it is easier to make this soup in a pan covered with a lid than in microwave!

Without using a microwave, you can reduce the cooking time by steaming the onions in a pan covered with a lid. This way, there's less dishwashing, too.
It takes 10 minutes to steam the onions in a pan covered with a lid, the same amount of time it would take to microwave.

Steps

1

Thinly slice the onion lengthwise. Melt the butter in a deep pan and lightly sauté the onion. Cover and simmer over medium to high heat for about 10 minutes.
2

Uncover and sauté for 5 minutes. *Scrape the brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.
3

Cook for another 5 minutes.
4

Add the water, sake, and chicken consommé cubes (break up the cubes before adding), and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and adjust the saltiness. The soup base is done.
5

While the soup is still hot, transfer to heat-resistant bowls and top with the garlic bread ( see Step 7) and cheese. You can also use a lightly toasted baguette instead of garlic bread.
6

Preheat the oven and bake at 180℃ for about 15 minutes or bake in the toaster oven for about 7 minutes. It's ready when the tops are browned. It's easier to bake in the toaster oven if you're just preparing 1 or 2 serving(s).
7

Cut the garlic clove in half. Rub a 1 cm thick slice of baguette with the cut side of the garlic. Thinly spread butter and toast in a toaster oven.
8

Make a large batch, and store the caramelized onions and garlic bread in the freezer for later use. (To defrost the toast, put it in the refrigerator overnight.)
9

The reason for baking is to melt the cheese and brown the top; this could be done with either an oven or a toaster oven.
10

The baguettes that have absorbed the soup and the melted cheese on top taste amazing! I used small slices of baguettes and put 2 in each bowl.
