The soup was great, I trippled the recipe, but eliminated the cider, and used extra beef and chick broth.

I served this at a family gathering, and it got raves. It is unexpectedly sweet, but everyone loved it.

The first time I tried this recipe, I was amazed on how good this was! I've made it several times since then. It will be in my cookbook forever to enjoy!

I felt the soup was ok at first. The apple cider gave the soup a "fall" taste. After I made it halfway through the bowl, I found myself struggling to finish. The cider was overbearing and the onions and broth became sickening sweet.

My boyfriend, however, liked this soup more than I did. He really enjoys apple cider in the fall (he had trouble not drinking the cider I bought for the soup. He liked the fact that there were a lot of onions, making the soup heartier.

We both agreed that this recipe wasn't really worth making again. When we think of French onion soup, we anticipate a more salty, beefy broth. Luckily I have several more recipes from the site to try!

An easy to follow recipe - and the soup can be prepared ahead of time.

I will never be able to eat store-bought French Onion Soup again!

I loved this recipe as it was pretty easy. The only thing I added was some fresh rosemary and that really balanced off the sweetness. My children don't like onions, but loved this soup.

I'm a huge fan of Alton, but was disappointed with this recipe. I found the soup to be much too sweet for my taste. I ended up adding a ton of salt and other spices to cut the sweetness. I would not recommend this one, unless you want to have soup for dessert.

One question. Do you leave the cover on or off of the electric skillet while the onions are reducing?
