Liked the flavor of the soup but I disagree that bread or crouton makes onion soup difficult to eat. I personally thought the portabellas sliced with swiss over top was difficult to eat. Next time I will dice up the mushrooms or use bite sized pieces. Good flavors and the aroma and look of the soup was divine.
