I am planning on making this for the first time tomorrow.
The problem is in making the cheesy crouton part. I have a gas oven but
the broiler is below the oven - in drawer.

What would work better? Making the cheese croutons on a baking sheet and
topping off the soup, putting the soup bowls with the crouton and cheese
in a very hot oven or using the drawer? The drawer doesn't allow for a
lot of space between dish and flame and I am afraid it will burn if I am
not too careful.

Ideas?
