My family loves this soup! They cry while I'm making it, and beg me to make more later.

My fiance orders French Onion soup every time its on a menu. I surprised him and made this one night and it was better than a lot of restaurants! I used a few less onions, chicken broth instead of veg. and added a little red wine (in addition to the white!) so the broth would taste more "beefy", because most F.O. soups call for beef stock. With all these changes it still tasted amazing! It was so easy too.

This is the BEST EVER onion soup, slowly sauting the onions is brilliant as it sweetens and tenderizes the onions for a delicious result. I think the reviewer who said there was to much onion did not fully cook down their onions or used the giant sized onions, at any rate it is onion soup after all and their rating isn't fair just based on that, it is what it is! My changes to this recipe was that I used a beef stock that I had bought to use for another recipe that I didn't make. I also used a Gruyère Cheese instead of mozzarella as I wanted the creamy, nutty flavor that Gruyère gives and for my company I thought it would make this soup that much more special. I also used a quality white wine that I already had for a quality flavor. Everyone commented on it's deep flavor and said it was the best they have ever had. I so recommend that anyone who wants a 5 star flavored onion soup give this one a try...I know they won't be disappointed.

Thank you for this! My husband is a "semi-veg" and I am not, so this was a perfect recipe for us. Very yummy!

I haven't found a better tasting vegetarian version of French Onion soup anywhere! Per other reviews, I did add some thyme, and a little less wine than called for. It's even better the next day.

I used red wine instead of white, as per suggestion. It turned out very good! I piled on the cheese, too, mmm mmm. The next day my boyfriend, upset that I'd used all the onions, used the onions from the leftover soup to make eggs. They were very good too.

Way too much wine. Need to reduce to one cup. It actually overpowered the onions. The next day, I recooked the mixture to let the wine boil off some. Also, I added a little dry mustard and thyme... this made it a lot better. The mozzarella cheese and baguette are excellent. Overall, probably a good vegetarian dish, but since I'm not one, I'll be on the lookout for another recipe.

I made this recipe with 6 onions and it seems like more than enough. The base was a little too strong, had to off set with a salad or something. Too strong by itself. Probably won't make this one again.

Delicious - rich and flavorful. We sauteed the onions for over twenty minutes and they were not deep brown, but definitely sauteed enough for the soup. We served this as an appetizer at a dinner party and served the beef tenderloin with roasted shallots (on this site) as the main dish.

I substituted beef broth instead of veggie and it was way to strong/salty?. Also, almost every other recipe includes thyme, may have helped.

I used red onions, red wine (instead of white wine) beef broth (since I did not have chicken broth) and added 2 bay leaves along with the salt and pepper, and it turned out terrific. My boyfriend, who is very wary of my cooking since some of my concoctions are not super appealing, even really enjoyed it. Definitely a keeper!

Delicious! Will definitely make again. Mmmmm..... [12-29-2001] Update: I make this soup once or twice a year (whenever I have an extra bottle of wine lying around) and it always turns out perfect. This is *sooo* good! SOOO v*e*r*y good! And there are no fancy ingredients. And yet it's delicious! Why don't I make it more often? Anyways, whoever said this has too many onions... Did I mention this soup is good?
