Quick Q: is the onions supposed to be quartered, halved or whole when going into the TMX?

Also curious about the toast on top, I think the few onion soups I've had have just had croutons in them.

Rob, I would halve the onions, you want them chopped so they look like slices of onion, not mush so keep an eye on them through the hole if possible (I use a torch) and stop chopping when they look right. I never put whole onions in the TMX and I've always known French Onion Soup to have the cheese toasts on top.
