Perfect dish for this dark and stormy night. I adapted it a bit based on reviewer recommendations and ingredient availability. Cut the butter in half (absolutely no loss) and carmelized onions over about 40 minutes. Added about 1/2 cup white wine (instead of sherry), which I boiled off. Stirred in a couple of Tbsp flour and cooked a bit before adding broth. Toasted the bread (from my inventory of frozen baguette leftovers) for the topping prior to putting in the soup, adding cheeses, and doing the broil thing. Cheeses available tonight were gruyere, mozzarella and romano. Absolutely dee-lish and prepared from easily available ingredients. Highly recommend.

The soup its self is awsome, but the french bread gets soggy instantly. Next time ill try a baguette or a bread much denser and dryer. Great soup! Tastes just like Mimi's Cafe french onion soup. TY

I use a mixture of onions each time I make this. This last time I used one large sweet onion, two small purple onions, and 1 small yellow onion. I also recommend caramelizing the onions in SALTED butter and olive oil. Also adding a sprinkle of salt to the onions will help them caramelize them better. I have used both sherry and red wine in this soup and find the red wine gives a richer, better flavor. We leave out the parmesan cheese and opt for only the provolone and this is a keeper. This is my kids favorite soup! They ask for it, they beg for it, they love it. They are 4 and 9 and this is one meal everyone can agree on!

The first time, I like to cook a recipe just how it is. Why change it if you don't know what it's like? This is deliciously perfect just the way it is. It was a big hit with the family and I will add it to my fav winter recipes

this was really yummy!! the only reason I didn't give the full 5 stars is because I think there was a little too much butter/oil, and I added some more sherry. I also used some different cheeses just because that's what I had on hand - sharp white cheddar, shredded italian blend, and shredded parmesan. Very good, and even better the next day!

This soup is delicious! Like some of the other reviewers, i was a little surprised that the recipe says to not let the onions brown...i DEFINITELY recommend browning them! This was soooo delicious and easy to make! if you want to splurge a little, try gruyere cheese. The provolone and parmesan are still good but gruyere makes it a little more special!

I had been looking for a really good onion soup. I Just made this last night and it was great! The cheese and bread on top really were the final touch. My bread didn't finish baking in time so I used croutons and they worked fine. I will for sure be making this again. I think it would go great with prime rib and a salad!

A real winner, served it for a ladies Lunch. What a hit. I was using my very old original Pyrex dishes. They are patterened and not dishwasher safe so I was reluctant to broil them Instead I broiled the toated French bread -cheese on top then put them in the soup . Rave reviews. Thank you

Delicious! Toast the bread, for sure! Definately use sherry! It made such a difference! Next time I will cut the thyme in half, it was a little over powering. Yummy! Can't wait to make it again!

Good jumping point. Only used the butter for the onions (which I browned). Then added a bay leaf, some balsamic vinegar, and Worcester sauce to the recipe. The added flavors really rounded it out, and it wasn't any more effort to make. Best I've ever had!

Good basic recipe; I used 3 cans beef broth one can chicken broth. Used red onion, vidalia onion, and some julienned leek. Substituted a little chardonnay and brandy when I deglazed the pan before adding stock instead of the sherry (and yes, I caramellized the onions).

Onions took an hour to caramelize. PERFECT. I toasted the bread beforehand, brushed the slices with olive oil, sprinkled with reggiano parm...then baked...When I was ready to serve...plopped the bread in, topped with swiss...heaven.

Good soup. I used white wine instead of the sherry, as I did not have any on hand, and it worked just fine. I also added a bit of beef bullion on top of the broth to kick up the beef flavor a bit. Other than that I kept to the recipe, and it turned out great. I’ll probably cut back on the butter and oil the next time I make it, but this is definitely a keeper. And be sure to caramelize the onions! It’s the best part of any French onion soup!

I agree, you've got to carmelize the onions first. I also cut back on the amount of butter. Great flavor after these changes.

This was excellent! I didn't use sherry, but I did add a little white wine. Next time I will try to remember to spray the rim of the bowl with non-stick spray for easier cleaning after dinner.

I made this for my parents, aunt, and husband (who isn't a huge fan of french onion soup), and they all loved it, in fact my husband has asked me to make it again. I followed the ingredients, but not the measurements... and it turned out awesome!! I did cook the onions for a long time like someone else suggested, so they were a beautiful brown. I can't wait to make it again.
