Awesome recipe! My favorite restaurant just sold to new owners and changed the menu. No more French Onion Soup. So, we made our own! This was great and I did what a couple other people suggested and added parsley, thyme, worcestershire sauce, and garlic. I also really the the onions go on the stove and carmelize. My dad had never had the soup and couldn't believe how good it was. This recipe is a keeper! Thanks!

This recipe was awesome!! My entire family loved it. It was so quick and so flavorful!! I did make a couple of changes, though. I didn't add the red wine, I just added a touch more beef broth. And I added a couple of dashes of Worchestire sauce and about 1/2 tsp of garlic powder. It's a great recipe, especially for someone with out a lot of time for cooking. I would recommend slow cooking the onions, it breaks them down and they carmalize much better that way.

It took about 20 mins for the onions to caramelize nicely. The only thing I did differently was to add some freshly ground pepper. This wasn't the best French Onion Soup ever but it certainly satisfied a craving. Thanks, chefbuzz!

FABULOUS! Except that you have to cook the onions WAY longer than specified. I cooked yellow onions on medium for about 30 minutes. I used regular slices of white bread, toasted them in the toaster slightly, then put the cheese on top and broiled them for a minute. I didn't have oven safe bowls, so I just ladled the soup in a regular bowl and added the bread with the melted cheese. YUMMY!

Great recipe. I added a garlic clove, cut into 3 (not smashed) just to add a little flavor, plus a bay leaf, some thyme, and a tiny bit of sea salt. Also added a splash of Worcestershire as reccommended. Used a provolone and mozzarella mix. Very good!

This was my first time making French Onion Soup, So I really had no idea how it would come out. I followed the recipe to a T, but if I was to make this again, I would definately make some changes. I used low sodium beef broth, which wasn't a good idea. It made the liquid in the soup very bland. It definately needed more flavor. We added some salt before eating, and it made a huge diffence. I recommend really letting the onions carmalize, and get nice and brown. I think this recipe is pretty good, but needs some adjustments.

Great recipe, I followed most of the recipe as well as advise from prior reviews. I did add a small amount of Wostershire , and I did change the cheese to Guyere cheese. The only thing I might do differntly next time is add a LITTLE less red wine, somewhere in between 1/2 and 3/4 cup.

This was AWESOME. I followed the recipe and this was far better than any French Onion Soup I have ever had. I recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great soup recipe. With a salad, this was a great meal. Try this and you will not be disappointed.

i agree that it's only a good starter for french onion soup. we ended up using only 1 cup of water & an extra can of broth(i used chicken cuz it's what i had) and i ended up cooking the onions(with a clove of garlic) for about 30 minutes or so on med-hi until they got a really good brown on them, and then had to use some herbs, parsley, thyme, S&P and a dash or 2 or worcstershire. hope this helps...

This soup was excellent. It was very easy to make with ingredients I always have on hand. I plan to make it tonight(it is two days after Thanksgiving and we want to eat something not related to turkey and light!)
