I have become an aficionado of cooking lots of component parts to favorite dishes and storing them in the freezer, to be assembled at will. Two of the most versatile are beef and chicken stock, and caramelized onions. They come together here in a quick version of a time-intensive standby. While you're in time- and labor-saving mode, instead of toasting the entire bowl with a giant cheese-coated crouton, just make a cheese toastie, cut it into crouton size, and float atop the soup.
