  1. I did omit the brandy, but added 3 tablespoons dry wine. The flavors complimented each other very nice, and yes the goat cheese out this over the top. The flavors were perfect. Made for a nice dinner with recipe#474282
     
  2. WOW! This is so easy and very delicious, and filling! What put it over the top is the goat cheese. One of the things I dislike about French Onion Soup is sometimes the Swiss cheese gets stringy and glops into a big ball, making it hard to eat. No problem with the goat cheese, plus the flavor really compliments the soup. Will be making this again.
