    This recipe made a good stout soup. Somewhat thicker than I get when I go to a restaurant and order it and 10 times better since I made it myself!

    I love french onion soup... and this is the most technically accurate version of the recipe I have ever seen... I've read the other reviews and all I can say to those who were less than satisfied is that you didn't do it right...

    I have made this several times and it is a standard in my house. Perfect mix of flavors.

    French Onion is probably my favorite soup and this recipe made the best one that I have ever had! But one would expect no less from the "Mr. Wizard" of cooking.

    We've made this several times over the past two winters and have found it to be extremely sweet, but there's an easy fix. When you buy cider, save about 10-12 ounces of the dregs and allow it to go sour naturally. (Or, if you're extremely frugal, save any sour cider in the freezer and use it specifically for the recipe. You can also replace some of the cider with an extra ounce or two of cider vinegar. Either way, the resulting soup is dark, rich and wonderfully balanced.

    I love Alton's show, but my family did not enjoy this recipe at all. It was much too sweet and did not have enough broth for our taste. We did try the fontina cheese for the top that he mentioned on the show and were happy to not have to deal with the stringyness.

    This is hands down the best French Onion Soup I have ever had. Everyone always raves when I have it at dinner parties.

    My husband is a bit of a connoseuir of French Onion Soup and has always thought the best was in a little restaurant we went to in St. Augustine, Florida, and I could never come close. Then, I made Alton Brown's recipe. Suddenly, this was the best. It is just the right mix of sweet and savory. I've made it a couple of times, and the second time I used very bitey onions and it wasn't that good. I'm going to make it today with Vidalias. Yeah, it does take a while to prepare, but so worth the wait.
