I used beef instead of chicken as well. I just didn't care too much for it, and I doubt I would have even if I had used chicken. My parents thought it was pretty good, tho. I'm glad I tried it regardless. :)

this was great! I made the soup in my slow cooker but did not put the bread or cheese in it until I was ready to serve it. I put the bread and cheese on the soup and tosted it in the oven... very yummy

This soup requires excellent onions to turn out as savory and flavorful as needed. If you're working with lower-quality or even run-of-the-mill onions, you will need to season it. I added white wine to pump up the flavor, as well as a bay leaf.

This is a good starter recipe. Next time I make it I will use a bit less onion andquite a bit more broth. The changes I already made were to use beef broth instead of chicken, and I didn't add the bread while it cooked. I added the bread to the bowls and put provolone cheese on top. Delicious!

I used Beef Broth and it was excellent. Will make again. I've never seen this recipe use anything other than Beef Broth, however, some people can have a digestive problem with Beef products so I think the chicken broth would work for those who like that. It's all a matter of preference and there's something to suit everyone. :-)

I love love love having dinner ready for me. My boyfriend said this was the best onion soup recipe I've made yet. I used Vidalia onions and cut the recipe in half. The only change I made was to use a really good beef broth instead of chicken. The soup was good as is, but of course I couldn't resist adding another slice of bread topped with cheese, baked on top. Excellent comfort food on what turned out to be a very difficult day for us both. Thanks for the submission.

Yum. I didn't put in the bread (we served it on the side). I also needed much more liquid! Next time I'll either use small onions, or chop the rings in half as it was a bit messy to eat.

I really enjoyed this recipe. It made for a great dinner to come home to after a long cold day. My husband really loved this soup! The only change I made was to add beef broth instead of chicken. This also freezes well. I froze the leftovers to use as lunch at work. Perfect!

This is a super easy soup to make. The smell is incredible. I'm going to try it with beef broth, but it's really good with the chicken, too. The perfect cold weather soup!
