After making this recipe, I was told it was the best my friends had ever tasted! There were no leftovers! The beer really added a great flavor. I also had to use Jarlsberg cheese--all I had on hand, but it turned out delicious!!

This is very good and easy too! I did use 5 onions not the 10 it called for. The beer gave it a nice taste. My husband rated it a 9 out of 10 and trust me...thats really good!! I will make this again and again!!

I just made this exact recipe this weekend with a hunk of Beef in a slow cooker. Trust me, ten onions is NOT absurd! If it is done right, the onions will become translucent and practically melt away. Enjoy this with a hunk of homemade French bread and some sweet butter and away we go! Excellent recipe!

If you follow the recipe as given, it is amazing! The flavor is wonderful. Not crazy about all the onions? Pull them out when you ladle the soup into the bowl before baking, so you get all the flavor but not all of the onion. Very nice. My family looks forward to having this again.

I followed this recipe except for decreasing the onions to 6 yellow and 1 vidallia, it took longer to brown than the recipe, and I substituted half Swiss and half Provolone cheese; it was a big hit with company, I will make it again

GREAT!! After onions were browned (used only 6 avg sized onions) I added 1TB flour to thicken and 1TB brown sugar for richness. Didn't have enough Gruyere, so I mixed what I had with mozzarella and topped with parmesan. YUM!

I made this soup for a group of friends and it was a hit! I used seasoned croutons as a substitute for toasted bread and it was great! I also substitutes mozzerella cheese in the recipe.

I made this for Christmas dinner, and got rave reviews. Absolutely scrumptious; wouldn't change a thing. Used Killian's Red as the beer. YUMMM!

The soup tastes delicious. However adding 10 onions is absurd. I added 4 and a half and it was plenty. I added more beef broth than called for too.

This is a nice, light version of the traditional french onion soup, this meant even my children ate and enjoyed it, which they wouldn't have done with a soup made with wine. Not just that but it was tasty to boot, I made mine with vegatable stock. Thank you for sharing, it will be made again here.

This recipe's definately a keeper. The taste is wonderful, I also added a splash of Worchestershire, presentation is also key here. Spend the extra to buy the soup crocks and you'll feel like you're eating in a fancy restuarant every time you make this wonderful soup.

I replaced the beef broth with beef consomme - it gave the soup a rich smooth flavor. this is one of the best onion soups I have ever had.

This soup was very flavorful I added a splash of red wine for color. I did use Vidallia onions which made the soup far too sweet. I would stick to white or yellow onions.

I've tried many french onion soup recipes, and this one was pretty good. I reduced the number of onions to 6 and I added two tablespoons of flour to the onions right before they finished cooking. I used a brown ale and it gave the soup a really good flavor. I added a little salt at the end, but that was just my own personal taste. I would definitely try this again!

This was pretty good. For me, it wasn't the best flavor for french onion soup, but that's my taste. It was good and I enjoyed it, but I have had better. I liked the change in flavor, but I prefer more standard broths wiht the sherry/wine flavor for this soup. Glad I tried it, though.

This is a great recipe, I like the flavor contributed by the beer (I used a lager)...it is a nice change from the consumme flavor. Perfect for a cold fall afternoon. I will definitely make this again.
