This was pretty good. I know what I will do next time to make it a 5-star recipe. The sherry seemed to overpower the soup and gave it too much sweetness. So, I put a bit of red wine vinegar in it to take away the sweetness and that really helped. The beef broth I used was Trader Joe's organic beef broth. I wouldn't skimp on the broth. The onions really must be carmelized for the best flavor. I toasted thick slices of Trader Joe's French baguettes and put Trader Joe's "Quattro Formaggio" on top. Quattro Formaggio is a cheese blend of Parmesan, Asiago, Fontina, and mild Provolone which was a wonderful blend of cheeses to compliment the French onion soup.

This batter is very thick compared to most muffin recipes! Because of the sweet topping, I cut the sugar in half (for the muffins) and used 1 cup flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour instead of 1-1/2 cups all purpose flour. I was out of cinnamon, so the zest of one lemon was used to add more flavor. Lemon zest compliments blueberries beautifully and it did not fail. Orange zest would work equally as well. A topping of oats/brown sugar/butter would also be a nice variation. This is a great recipe. My family devoured the muffins.

This is great. I used my own homemade zucchini relish (which has a slight kick to it) and it was superb.
