My husband and I went out to dinner with our girls a week or so ago. We had onion soup and I then found out my girls liked it. So I came here looking for a recipe for the soup. I tried this one and it was even better than the one at the restaurant. We will be making this again and again.... Well it's about a year since I wrote the above and we still enjoy this recipe at least once a week. My girls don't even like the restarunt onion soup anymore

Excellent. I have been searching for the perfect French Onion Soup recipe and have finally found it. My husband thinks it is as good as Le Papillion Restaurant's (Toronto, Ontario)French Onion Soup. A definite keeper!!!

Wonderful! I saw the raving reviews for this recipe, and I had to try it! It was so easy, and so delicious! My husband, who doesn't like onions, even liked it! I didn't dilute the broth as much as the recipe calls for, but I don't think it would have been any less good the original way. I also sprinkled a little bit of parmesan cheese over the mozarella. YUM! I would highly recommend this recipe to anyone!

Super soup! I use Gruyère cheese instead and whole wheat bread slices instead of a baguette. Otherwise, I follow this recipe as given, and it's my new favorite onion soup.

I'm on a quest to find a match to my favorite French Onion soup which is served at a restaurant in my home town. This came pretty close! I think next time I may simmer it longer and not add as much thyme. Thanks for sharing it!

I've made this a couple of times and it's great. I love the thyme and parsley. A few changes I've made ... I use 48 oz beef broth, I don't water it down at all. I sprinkle the sugar on onion slices right away and I cook the onions for 45 until dark and caramelized. I use Port wine, not white. No restaurant version can compare to this recipe.

This was the first time I've ever tried to make French Onion soup. It turned out beautifully and very tasty. My husband absolutely loved it. I'll be making this one for my next dinner party!

I thought it was very good, but it was a bit too peppery for my family.

This is a graet recipe.. I used it for Christmas and I'm making it again because it is so easy and my friends say it's just like the kind they get when they eat out!

When I saw this was submitted by a Canadian I had to check it out. It was the best Onion Soup recipe that I have had. I scaled it for 2 (made it as a starter for New Year's Dinner)and it turned out great! Highly recommend. I will make this more often as it was soo easy and delicious! From ONTARIO
