French onion soup with cheese on top & maybe croutons.

[Vimto]

Is there a special name for French onion soup with cheese on top and possibly croutons? I'm looking for how it would appear on a French menu. Maybe a straight translation such as my Franglais: "potage de Lyonaisse avec fromage". Please advise.

i thought that was french onion soup - the croutons/cheese being a part of it

potage d'oignon et/avec fromage?

The cheese (traditionally gruyere) on top is ,art of the dish, straight translation is
"la soupe � l'oignon" thought |I suppose you could add avec fromage to it?

On a menu in France it would be 'soupe � l'oignon' the cheese and croutons would automatically be served with it.
As it's a recipe from Lyon it's sometimes called 'Soupe Lyonnaise' or even Soupe � l'oignon lyonnaise'

Once you've tried home made french onion soup - you won't like any other

I omit the wine & this is the first time i've heard of cognac being added
