4. Stir in vinegar, chives and remaining salt into soup.
5. Place six (6 oz.) oven-proof crocks or ramekins on a baking sheet.
6. Ladle soup evenly into crocks, about three-quarters full. Top each with toasted bread and sprinkle evenly with cheese. Broil for 2 minutes, or until cheese melts and bubbles.
