This was very good soup, bearing in mind that I made some changes as many do here. I cooked the onions for as long as I had patience to do so... having never caramelized onions before I didn't know if I was doing it right or starting to burn them. They smelled like onion soup, so I added the broth. I added no salt or pepper since I hadn't sampled the finished soup before... as it happened, it didn't need them. I keep no alcohol in my home so I had to find a substitution. Online cooking sites said orange or pineapple juice made good subtitutes for sherry. I was skeptical but put in what I had... a kids' citrus beverage I won't name just in case. I guess it was fine, because it certainly doesn't taste bad. It tastes like onion soup, huzzah! The only complaint I would make against the actual recipe, outside of the onions not being caramelized in it, is the thyme. There's so much that you could call it Thyme Soup convincingly. I will probably leave it out completely next time since I don't much fancy the spice. Unless you love thyme, it should at least be reduced.
