  1. Best French Onion Soup recipe I've made! Made as written but added 1/4 c red wine as per the local winery's suggestion. Thank you so much for sharing!
     
  2. Love French onion soup and this was no exception!!! Made this Sunday and the only thing I did differently was to add a few more onions. I did used the optional sherry which just added to the depth of flavor. Definately a keeper. Made for the Cook-a-thon in Memory of Pammyowl 2013.
     
  3. French Onion made with sherry is one of our favs and the addition of mustard was a tasty new twist. <br/>Thanks so very much for chasing away our winter blues with this flavorsome soup.
     
  4. What a great soup for a cold winter day. I halved the recipe for myself but forgot to reduce the brown sugar so it was a little on the sweet side but still oh so good. I didn't add as much water as I wanted a fuller flavor and I did use the sherry. I think the sherry is what really gives the soup the flavor. I was a little unsure about the Worcestershire sauce but it went over well. I only put mozzarella cheese on top of the soup then popped it in the oven until the cheese was melted and brown. Made for Best of Cookbook 2012.
     
  5. Excellent recipe for onion soup! I made it today to have tonight when we toast the new year! However, I did sneek an early taste. It is very rich tasting! I used 5 sweet vadalia onions for a sweet and savory combination. Tonight at midnight I will serve it with gruyere cheese on an Italian baguette broiled in the oven. Yum! Made for Please Make My Recipe Reunion, 12-31-12 tag.
