Made Garlic Croutons from this site, and they went PERFECTLY with this recipe. I followed other reviews and carmelized my onion; 8 Tablespoons of Butter and 2 Tablespoons and probably 6 cups of onions, cooked over medium heat for over an hour. Next time I am doubling the recipe because I wanted leftovers and there weren't any!

One of the easiest soup recipes I've encountered. Definitely browned the onions. I substituted the sherry for red wine and use a mix of white cheddar and Parmesan it turned out just fine. Family loved it!

This is very close to a recipe I have been using for the past 30 years or so. The only changes/suggestions that I would make are to add a tablespoon of Worchester Sauce and use all butter instead of the olive oil. Make sure that you saute the onions well. (Also, make sure that you slice the onions into fairly wide slices, about 1/2-3/4" wide.) You don't want them burnt, but you do want them browned. I use Campbell's Double-Rich Beef Consumme and 1/4 cup of Sherry. For the cheese, I put a tablespoon of FRESH shredded Parmesan cheese on the bottom of the bowl, then ladle on the soup, then top with a large homemade crouton, then the swiss cheese, and another tablespoon of the fresh Parmesan. For the croutons, take a large wine-glass and press into a slice of thick bread to get the perfect circle for your soup bowl. Spread with butter and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Put in the oven at 250 for about 1/2 hour or until they are dried and crisp.

This was very easy and I loved the thyme used in it. I only used 1/4cup butter and I browned my onions as well. I used red wine as one suggested and only two cheeses. Some french onion soups tend to have a sweet taste to it but I loved this one it was not too sweet and I only added salt to taste. Will definately use again. Thanks

This was a great recipe. The recipe was little bland so I will add more seasoning and cut down on the butter.

I thought this soup was very good and my husband thought it was excellent. Like many others, I carmelized the onions before continuing with the recipe. I used vidalia onions, which worked well. All in all, I found the soup a tad bland for my tastes. Next time I plan on putting 2T worcestershire sauce, 1T red wine vinegar, and 1 bay leaf in the soup for added flavor. Oh, and I plan to cut down on the butter because I found the soup a bit greasy. The cheese combination called for in this recipe was delicious. Thanks for the yummy, easy recipe!

The French Onion soup needs more taste. I think the different cheeses were to much. I love French Onion soup and this recipe doesn't meet my expectations.

Amazing. I've never made french onion soup before but we just LOVED this. I didnt put the sherry in, because i dont like the flavour of cooked alcohol and it was beautiful. Can't wait to use up the other half of our french bread on more soup!!!

The flavor is great and my husband loves this recipe. Although I do love french onion soup, all the butter in this recipe left me feeling kind of yuck.

This was pretty good. I know what I will do next time to make it a 5-star recipe. The sherry seemed to overpower the soup and gave it too much sweetness. So, I put a bit of red wine vinegar in it to take away the sweetness and that really helped. The beef broth I used was Trader Joe's organic beef broth. I wouldn't skimp on the broth. The onions really must be carmelized for the best flavor. I toasted thick slices of Trader Joe's French baguettes and put Trader Joe's "Quattro Formaggio" on top. Quattro Formaggio is a cheese blend of Parmesan, Asiago, Fontina, and mild Provolone which was a wonderful blend of cheeses to compliment the French onion soup.

This was very good, had to change a couple of things just for personal preference though. We went with rosemary and parm croutons and all I had on hand for cheese was mozza and parm. It was great either way, the longer it simmers, the tastier it gets.

This is my first attempt at making french onion soup and this was the perfect recipe for a newbe!! It was so easy to follow! However when I doubled the recipe I should have known not to double the butter!! I used salted butter and added a little dried dill and it turned out amazing! Thanks Lori! Great soup!

This turned out great. It was so easy. I toasted the frend bread before putting in the soup and topped with swiss cheese and gruyere cheese. Had a restaurant quality flavor to it. Served it on Valentines Day for whole family.
