This was DELICIOUS!!! Just as good if not better as any I have had at restaurants. I followed the advice of carmelizing the onions for longer, about 25 minutes and it was perfect. My boyfriend loved it too!

This is the first time I tried french onion soup because I try it everywhere and I was certain mine wouldn't compare. I was wrong. I used this recipe with a few changes and it was just as good if not better than restaurant. I caramelized the onion first, and added beef boullion to the water. I also gave it a splash of garlic powder, salt, and worstechire (whatev) sauce. It was delicious and simple!

I think this is my 2nd time reviewing this because I just made this soup again yesterday and it knocked my socks off. The only change I made was a bit less wine. I can't wait to make it for a potluck because people will be blown away. So easy, so delicious. Best ever and I've had TONS of french onion soup.

Phenomenal! I just returned Paris where my Christmas Eve dinner was a comforting bowl of authentic French onion soup. I had made this recipe years ago (an ex-bf engulfed it), and decided to try it again due to my Parisian nostalgia. I tweaked the recipe a little: substituted one quart of beef broth for the water and broth called and used olive oil instead of butter. It came out even better than I remembered!

This was awesome! One of the best french onion soups I've had in a long time. I used chicken broth instead of beef and pinot grigio instead of redwine. My husband licked his plate clean!

Delicious! Used brown sugar instead of white, croutons instead of bread, and added a few dashes of Worcestershire, salt, pepper, and thyme as recommended by some other reviewers. Also threw in some thinly-sliced mushrooms. Husband said it was the best soup he'd ever tasted, and has even requested that I make it for our Christmas dinner at HIS family's house! Success! :)
