Like everyone else I wondered about the recipe not using beef stock. But of COURSE I do not doubt Anne! :- This was AMAZING. Put the onions in my large cast iron skillet and cooked the onions outside on the grill on low. PERFECTION...

This turned out exactly as I'd hoped. I watched Ann make it on her show but being hearing impaired; it's hard to get the recipe, watch the captioning and see her work at the same time, so I came to the website. I love watching Ann and I really love this recipe.

This was amazing, the store was out of gruyere so i took some high quality swiss, some parmigiana and a splash of sherry, it turned out really goof.
The only addition i made was a few cloves of garlic, living in cuba i cant get enough garlic

The end result was good. I used half chicken and half beef stock (both homemade. Next time I will use all beef stock and more thyme. Anne suggest a "bunch" of thyme. the best I can find is a "bunch" is about 5 or 6 sprigs. 10 would have been better.
It took well more than an hour (1.5 to caramelize the onions. It seems that the caramelization really dosen't start until the liquid the onions release is mostly simmered away. With this volume of onions at low and slow heat, this takes time. I used a 6 quart stock pot. Perhaps a larger pot with a wider bottom surface area would get this down to the about an hour.

So, I would like to preface this review with the fact that I was hesitant to use chicken stock. It seems that beef stock would be the way to go. I read other french onion soup recipes and saw that many of them called for chicken stock. I used Ina Garten's chicken stock recipe, but added a leek as well. After about an hour and a half, I took out theroasting chicken (I only used one chicken b/c I didn't need that much stock. I took the chicken off the bones, made some impromptu chicken salad, and browned the bones w/ some salt and pepper in the oven on 450 for 35 minutes. I did put some of the chicken back into the stock so that the stock wouldn't be chickenless while the bones were browning. The soup is DELICIOUS! The bf said best he's ever had!

Love watching Ann with all of her down- to- earth quirkiness!! This recipe is a good one and it keeps it simple. The soup is rich and hearty and definitely a crowd pleaser at my house. The only thing I do differently is sub half beef broth for chicken stock. Makes it a bit richer. I have been cooking for quite some time and have gotten really good, but she ALWAYS teaches me something new on "Secrets" ! Thank you thank you Chef!!!
