The best French Onion Soup! I used just beef stock (not broth) because I didn't feel like hunting down veal stock, a round of toasted sourdough bread, and best-quality Gruyere. The sherry gives it a wonderful flavor.
Excellent!

I loved Emeril's version. Not too salty. I made a 1/2 recipe and used 1 1/2 C extra beef broth (didn't use chicken or veal). I also left out the Thyme. Adding Jarlsberg to the Gruyere cheese kept the flavors from being too sharp. I used extra sour dough bread that I toasted in the oven with a bit of butter and seasoning salt first.
delicious French Onion Soup

I won't be making this one again. I didn' enjoy the flavors plus, the onions took forever to brown.
Truly Wonderful & Easy

Gave this a try tonight for my husband and mother. Raves galore. Used veal stock and seasonal turkey stock bought at Williams-Sonoma as suggested in another review. Worked wonders. Wasn't too salty either which leaves room to add if you're a saltaholic. The onions took 45 minutes to reach that nice golden brown color. Added thick slices of three cheese bread from Panera and a slice of Gouda on top -- better than a restaurant!
Excellent

This is a very good French Onion Soup recipe. Don't be discouraged if the timing is off, and it takes longer to make. I have made this several times and it always takes me longer to cook the onions down. I usually allow 35-40 minutes for the first stage. I also end up adding more Veal Stock (4 cups). Both the Veal and Beef Stock are readily available at your local Williams-Sonoma store.
EASY AND DELICIOUS

What a wonderfully tasty soup! Very easy to make and better than most restaurant versions! I substituted 2 tbsp of worcestershire sauce for the wine (allergies) and it was sensational! Even the neighbor was raving about it! Thanks!!

This recipe is delicious...really delicious. I prepared a veal stock using sherry, brandy and thyme and of course sweet vidalia onion. Once I got started the recipe was really easy to prepare and did not require a lot of time. My nine-year old thinks this soup is better than the restaurant!!!! I have this recipe in my "recipe box" and will definitely be making my family and friends happy in the soup months ahead.

I made this soup this weekend and the family loved it. None of us have ever had onion soup at home befor. We've had the soup at resturants and liked it very much. I cooked the soup in my dutch oven and was pleasently suprised at the flavors and texture of the soup. It was a very nice change of pace.
Restaurant Style!

This is a very delicious version- I was surprised! It is one of the best french onion soups I've had, and this one is quite comparable to those I've tasted in restaurants. Split the recipe in half, like I did, and it's a hearty size for one person. I used beef broth instead of the veal stock, and a lightly toasted slice of white bread instead of the croutons.
Best Ever

We made this recipe last night and it was simple and elegant. A wonderful taste, better than some restaurants I've tried. Only thing we did different was to use croutons instead of French Bread. Evelyn Slidell, LA
Good, BUT . . . . .

Ok, I'm an Emeril fan, but that doesn't inflate my review. This is better than those salty versions found at the local one-price buffet, hotel brunch, or outdated 70's steakhouse that are probably made from bouillion cubes or powder mixes. But not better than the real deal at a good French restaurant. It lacks that smooth, rich, depth of flavor that a really good one has. Emeril has another recipe for this I will try next. Oh, make sure you use a really dense, spongy bread for the crouton (not that hollow insipid stuff from the grocery bakery).

I have traveled to many cities in the world. One of my pet hobbies is looking for good French Onion Soup while on my visits. This receipe is one of the better ones and comparable to the French Onion Soup served at the Derby East Restuarant in Monrovia California.
Oui, Oui - C'est delicious!!!

Fantastic. Made this for my family over the weekend and now I'm going to make it again on a Tuesday night because it was so good and so easy! I'm thinking about making a double batch so I can have some all to myself tomorrow for lunch!

This was really really good. I used the left overs to make a gravy over my chicken. I really enjoyed this soup with the french bread.

A classic with all the flavor! I used a good beef stock in place of the veal and used regular chicken, still came out wonderful. I also used fontinella cheese, awesome!

My husband and I absolutely love this soup recipe! We have it quite often. We make a vegetarian version for our household by doing a broth substitution. I also vary this recipe by using Cream Sherry, because we tend to always have that on hand. Such a nice flavor! YUMMM!!!

Easy! It is better than the more complicated recipe from Les Halles market that I have made for years. I cut down on the butter and replaced with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, used 1 teaspoon of dry thyme leaves, our fresh is snow covered, and used canned beef stock. I did not miss the flavors from flour, garlic, bay leaves and parsley that the other recipe calls for. A definite make again!
Perfect!

This soup is wonderful. I made a double recipe, and it took more than 1 hour to brown the onions, but it was so worth the time. The recipe is so easy to make, and I used only beef stock (I don't do veal). It was restaurant delicious! I will absolutely make it again.
Cozy and mmm, mmmm, good!

Easy - so very easy to make! The sherry lends itself to the natural sweetness of the onions as they cook down. Serve with a great bread on the side! Great dish for in front of the TV or a sit-down dinner. Thanks, Emeril!
Wonderful!

I didn't have any sherry on hand, so I used marsala, and it worked very well. This is a great tasting recipe!
