Excellent recipe. I used homemade chicken stock which made it even better. I would highly recommend this recipe.

I thought this would be good based on all the reviews but blecht. Not good. Maybe it was because of the wine I used, merlot. I've had better soup from a packet.

This takes some time to prepare but is an impressive combination of flavors. I used 3 vidalia + 1 red onion and swiss cheese with a sprinkle of mozzerella on top. Yum!

Jersey Tomato, this is some rockin' good French Onion soup (or Gratinee if you want to get fancy) ;o) I followed your directions to a T, figuring if there was anything I'd do different.. I'd do it next time. But it turned out ~AWESOME~ without a bit of tinkering. One word: YUM!! Thank you J/T ~ :o)

Magnifique! This is the only recipe I will ever use for french onion soup. Please follow the directions! The key is caramelizing the onions and adding your balsamic right before serving (I add a little extra because I love it). It's easy to sub in spanish onions or even a couple yellow onions in a pinch. I use either mozzarella or gruyere, whatever's handy. I served this today with a thrown together nicoise salad with a honey balsamic dressing, and french bread with honey butter. TRIFECTA of flavor, my friends. TRIFECTA.

This is fabulous. I left out the ingredients I didn't have, like wine and balsamic vinegar, and substituted a jumbo yellow onion for the reds. I will make this again.

If you're looking for run of the mill French Onion Soup, look elsewhere; if you're looking for AMAZING French Onion Soup, this is truly it. I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out excellent. Thank you so much for submitting it. And to the person below me who only gave it a couple stars because they missed the wine and Swiss? This recipe called for both - did you review the wrong recipe?

My family really enjoys this recipe. The only complaint I have is that there are too many onions and not enough broth if you follow the recipe exactly as written.

Hmm, unlike a lot of you, I didn't like this version. French onion soup isn't a particularly difficult soup to make so I expected a little more given the exception of some of the ingredients. For us, the wine was sorely missed, as was the Emmental Swiss. I had leftovers so I froze that. On a second sampling, I made some home built whole wheat garlic croutons and heaped that in with the Swiss. It was better but then the Worcestershire became the issue...I'll not make this again, there are far far better recipes out there for this simple elegant soup.

This soup is to die for! Wonderful flavor..yum. The only thing I did differently was that I added about a Tbsp. of olive oil to the butter so the butter would not burn & also, I didn't have fresh thyme or parsley so I used about 1/4-1/2 tsp. of the dried stuff. This soup has such a rich flavor to it. If I could, would give it 10 stars!

This is an excellent dish. I get rave reviews from everyone I have ever served it to. We had a big soup party at work and I made this. Since I couldn't do the baked cheese on top I took sliced bread italian bread and toasted it in the oven with cheese, then when you put it in the bowl with the hot soup the cheese gets all melty, but the toasted bread stays somewhat firm and doesn't get all goopy. Stayed well in the crock pot all day.

I love-love-love this recipe. I use different cheeses than it states. The magic in this soup is not the cheese, it is the carmelized onions and broth. Follow the carmelizing instructions!! I never actually have 2 of each onions when I am in the mood for making this soup, so don't worry too much about that.

This was easy to make and tasted great. I used dried parsley as had none fresh, and also skipped the wine (added a spoonful of brandy instead). Definitely as good as in french restaurants!

OMG - this is absolutely fabulous! I've been making the same onion soup for over a decade and everyone loves it, but now that I tried this I don't think I'll ever make that one again. I used all regular onions since that what I had, dry herbs instead of fresh, and substituted the Worcestershire sauce with 2 T. soy sauce. I cooked the soup for about an hour, and served it with grated cheese and croutons. My kids were having thirds and the adults were bowled over.

Completely fantastic. Like others, I used only beef stock. I also mixed the butter with a bit of olive oil, and used dried herbs, since that was all I had. We ate just soup with a quick salad of romaine, Granny Smith apples, and bacon and are still stuffed two hours later!

This was a great FOS. I substituted 1/2 the butter with olive oil, and omitted the bread crouton to make it a little more lowfat. Topped it with grated swiss.. A great winters eve light supper!
