I used 1 very large white onion that gave me 4 cups. I added more beef bouillon powder and a little bit of salt at the end. This soup has a great taste. But I can't taste the coke. Maybe that's a good thing ;) This soup is easy to do. I used gruyere cheese on top and it didn't want to brown like swiss cheese does. But it was great. Thanks Blue Rose :) Made for PAC Spring 2012
