Loved it. I changed it because it was just for two people. I did not use any water, I added only two cup of beef broth and I added some red wine. It came out perfect and delicious.

Really enjoy this recipe I’ve made it twice! The sherry really elevated the soup, but ne sure to cook off sherry!

it was very good, but my girl like it with beef in it so I cooked up two filets, cubed them up into small bites and added the beef 15 mins before the end. This will be my go to FOS

Love love love! I skipped the baking part and spent some extra time breaking down the onions on the stovetop. Wonderful receipt

Rating completely from my husband’s perspective as he’s the one that loves french onion soup. He said it was spot on with the flavour and the onions were perfectly cooked. Followed the recipe exactly other than adding 1/4 cup of red wine also, after seeing some of the comments

This is the first time I’ve ever tried making French onion soup and WOW! it was amazing! Will definitely make it again, but will plan my time better since it takes quite awhile

Stunning, simple, I've made it a few times now and enjoyed rave reviews of it complex flavors!

Soooooo good. I used brown onions, they looked the yellowist and the store didn’t have yellow ones. I also cooked at a lower temp of 350 since i had to leave the house during that portion, and the onions still turned out great. It really is the next step on the stove top that you have to be cautious about so you don’t burn them. Quality bread makes a huge difference (I used regular with the leftovers and it just wasn’t the same).

Made it twice and am extremely happy with the results. Used a cast iron Dutch oven and followed the recipe exactly.

This recipe is a winner. The best that I have ever made...and I have made quite a few in my day. I also added just a bit of fresh nutmeg and went heavier on the beef broth as I prefer a beefier base to mine. I agree with only using the yellow onions. Easy as pie but you do have to allow plenty of time to be devoted to every step. Now my go to recipe for FO soup. A cold snowy day will be perfect for this soup. Just send someone else out for the bread. Without it it wont shine as much for sure. Good cheese/good bread. Gold Stars..

This is a fantastic recipe. I switched the beef and chicken stock ratio because we prefer it a little better that way. I also keep the onions on stove top but the long cook time is essential. The toasting of the bread is really key and makes this recipe better than most restaurant F.O. soup. Also, the use of ONLY yellow onions is important. Lastly, If not familiar with it, the guyere can be VERY nasty smelling and off-putting (particularly to kids).so swiss can be substituted.

This recipe was a hit with my family - and we are picky about our French onion soup! I didn't leave quite enough time to do all the deglazing and baking, but even skimping 15 minutes here and there, the soup was delicious. In the end, I added just about a teaspoon of honey to the broth to sweeten it a bit - it was almost bitter the onions were so dark! That did the trick. It is a very rich, savory taste. I will make this again!

THIS recipe IS THE BEST I have ever tried! Seriously! Over the years I've tried dozens of French Onion Soup recipes - they were all okay, but this one stands out from the crowd. It is easy and delicious! I didn't use as much water but did add more broth to make up the difference from what the recipe asked for in liquids. Try it and you will not use any other recipe for this soup again! Yum!

I love French onion soup and this one sounds like a winner. Going to give it a try for Thanksgiving as one of the sides to the turkey.
