Very easy and delicious! I followed the recommendations and left out the egg and it was still wonderful. I also used 2 cups beef bullion instead of the chicken broth to give it a really rich flavor and skim milk and half n half. The onions soaked up the flavor and just melted in my mouth. Oh so good! I served this with hot garlic cheese Texas toast. Thanks for a great way to warm up my day! Yummo! Definitely a keeper. Also tried topping with cheddar cheese...excellent!

The onions smelled great when cooking and tasted good with the broth, but once the cream was added it got too sweet for my taste. I think in hindsight, I could have left the cream out and added some beef broth or more chicken broth for a broth based soup. I enjoyed making it and trying something new though!

This soup has a wonderful flavour. I omitted the eggs and found the texture to be perfect. Can't wait to have the leftovers for lunch today.

Excellent! I used beef broth instead of chicken, to make it more reminiscent of French onion soup. Very creamy and delicious.

We had an unexpected cold snap here in Texas & I had some vidalias so I tried this recipe out...it was a bit sweet (it's a subtle sweet not a sugary sweet) but it was sooo good. I used 3 very large vidalias, 2% milk & low sodium chicken broth & only 2 of the egg yolks (not sure what if anything they contributed...I couldn't taste the diff & next time will leave them out). I added a bit more hot sauce & garnished w/ sliced green onions instead of parsley. I topped it w/ some parmesan cheese but I don't know if that's the right kind of cheese...perhaps cheddar would be better. I simmered it in chicken broth longer than called for (hubby was working late & I simmered until he walked through the door...about 30/45 minutes) but I think that just broke the onions down more. I did not puree any of the soup & I don't think it really needed it. (maybe because the onions were simmered for so long). I had planned on hitting it w/ some brandy as suggested but forgot until it was too late to add it. I served this w/ garlic toast, which worked perfectly to counteract the sweetness of the soup.

This was very tasty. Browning the onions was a nice touch. It enhanced the flavor a lot. I used 2% milk and found it to be great. I think the half and half would make it tooooo rich. Betty Russell

My family enjoyed this recipe and will make it again, I would however double the amount of onions that I used; I will probably use 1 or 2 white onion as the soup may get to sweet using all Vidalia’s. The onions that I used the first time would be what I consider medium size (about the size of a hardball). I like the idea in T.PROCTOR’S review of adding cognac – will try that next time also. Thanks Holly!

Very good. It's very sweet. I used 2 large onions because once I started chopping it seemed like that was enough. I didn't add the egg and it seemed fine. I also used the immersion blender to chop it up a bit. My husband thought it was great too!

This was a wonderful, creamy soup. I added a little bit of cognac while I sauted the onions and I did do the extra step of blending about a third of the soup then adding it back. I will absolutely make this recipe again. It would be wonderful for entertaining. We had it as a meal with a spinach/strawberry salad (recipe on this site) and french bread. Thanks for sharing!

I used 2 very large regular onions, omitted the egg yolks, and used red pepper flakes instead of paprika. Also, I used a hand blender to puree it a little. This is a wonderfully warming and hearty soup, just perfect for a snowy day. Thanks, Holly!

This soup was the star of a big dinner party (even the beef wellington took second seat) Cook the onions until well carmalized and use fresh paparika (smoked or roasted parika is best). To really bring out the flavor, add 1/8 to 1/4 cup of maderia or brandy. Perfect!

I made this with high expectations of being like the soup served at The Outback....needless to say, I was very disappointed. Probably won't make again.
