Saute the onions, butter and bay leaves in a large skillet until the onions are transparent. Combine the onion mixture with the consomme, water, steak (HP) sauce, Worcestershire sauce, sherry, salt and pepper in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer.
Simmer for 5 minutes. Fill each serving bowl only ¾ full. Float a toasted bread slice on each. Cover the bread with cheese slices (about ¼ lb of cheese per bowl). Place the bowls under the broiler until the cheese melts and turns golden brown. Serve hot.
