    Alton's recipe calls for Apple Cider not Apple Cider Vinegar. This may have been the reason all you could taste is vinegar. I always go to his recipes first. This is a great and simple one for Alton. Five Stars!!!

    OMG can you say vinegar. That's all I could taste even after attempting to water this recipe down with 1 full carton of beef stock, and another of chicken broth. Ultamatley, after 2 hours + of cooking I threw it out. Uggggh.

    This was fantastic! I made some adjustments based on what I had available and other reviews: reducing the cider to 8 oz, increasing the chicken broth to around 14 oz, using swiss and mozzarella cheese (instead of Fontina or Gruyere, and substituting dried thyme for the fresh (my supermarket doesn't carry the fresh. I'll definitely make it again; it is a bit sweet, so I may use a combo of red and yellow onions next time.

    Completing the first try and following this recipe exactly I found the soup to be too thick and too sweet. Very good recipe but on the next go round I'm going to reduce the apple cider by half and increase the fluids by adding 20 oz of beef stock in addition to the chicken stock. On my rating scale I gave the first shot a B- but with some adjustments to our particular tastes this is a A recipe for sure.

    Was wonderful! Kicked it up to notches unknown! My wife loved it, and that is the best review I can give.

    A smidge too sweet. I'll cut the cider in half the next time. Otherwise, very tasty! I also made this without an electric skillet and it turned out fine!

    I have had the pleasure of making this a few times and I love it! Finding the correct wine to balance the onions was the difficult issue for me as I am not much of an alcohol consumer but WOW! when I figured it out. This has rapidly become my favorite soup. Thank you Alton Brown :

    Don't bother with this recipe! Took three hours for onions to carmelize. A super sweet inedible mess.
