This is not your average french onion soup and takes some different ingredients but is well worth it! Alton knows what he is doing. I don't bother wiht the electric griddle though...

This recipe makes an outstanding French Onion soup with intense sweet and strong onion flavors simultaneously complementing the broth. An outstanding recipe!

During the holidays my niece a huge batch of this soup for our open house. After the party about half the French onion soup remained. Normally my husband and I are not big fans of onion soup but we were practically fighting over who would get the next bowl of this soup.

I can not begin to say how delicious and not that salty this soup was. Oh, I know what will give you an idea of just how good it was - - we both ate it plain. There was no need for the croutons and cheese they just subtracted for the great taste of the onion soup. Alton you should market this stuff.!!!!

This was amazing. I made this as first course for Valentine's Day dinner, and my husband and I loved it. It's now on our 'regular' list, and this recipe will be prepared often. It is a bit sweet. I used half the amount of cider and substituted additional consume...next time we'll also try white and yellow onion (vs vidalia and red and go for a more robust flavor. Try this; you won't be sorry!!

What a disappointment this was. I even purchased soup crocks so I could make this. This turned out way to sweet, all I could taste was the white wine. Yuck. To salvage I added another can of consumme along with beef bouillion to cut the sweetness. My family thought it tasted ok but I couldn't finish it. Maybe if you didn't add so much wine and just a little cider it would be ok but this just didn't have the rich broth I was anticipating. Won't make this again.

This is THE BEST french onion soup I have ever tasted. Once you try this, you will not be disappointed. Be patient as it does take a long time to get the onions caremelized.

WOW, I usually like his recipes. I don't know where he got this recipe but this is not a French Onion Soup...besides Campbells or any other company that produces 'stock' is producing garbage. They can say all the things they want about fresh vegetables and meat but try making a reduction of them and all you end up nothing. This is not French Onion Soup. I know, I have been there every year since I was 10.
