    This soup is wonderful. I made a double recipe, and it took more than 1 hour to brown the onions, but it was so worth the time. The recipe is so easy to make, and I used only beef stock (I don't do veal. It was restaurant delicious! I will absolutely make it again.

    The best French Onion Soup! I used just beef stock (not broth because I didn't feel like hunting down veal stock, a round of toasted sourdough bread, and best-quality Gruyere. The sherry gives it a wonderful flavor.

    Gave this a try tonight for my husband and mother. Raves galore. Used veal stock and seasonal turkey stock bought at Williams-Sonoma as suggested in another review. Worked wonders. Wasn't too salty either which leaves room to add if you're a saltaholic. The onions took 45 minutes to reach that nice golden brown color. Added thick slices of three cheese bread from Panera and a slice of Gouda on top -- better than a restaurant!

    This is a very good French Onion Soup recipe. Don't be discouraged if the timing is off, and it takes longer to make. I have made this several times and it always takes me longer to cook the onions down. I usually allow 35-40 minutes for the first stage.

    I also end up adding more Veal Stock (4 cups. Both the Veal and Beef Stock are readily available at your local Williams-Sonoma store.

    I made this soup this weekend and the family loved it. None of us have ever had onion soup at home befor. We've had the soup at resturants and liked it very much. I cooked the soup in my dutch oven and was pleasently suprised at the flavors and texture of the soup. It was a very nice change of pace.

    A classic with all the flavor! I used a good beef stock in place of the veal and used regular chicken, still came out wonderful. I also used fontinella cheese, awesome!

    Easy! It is better than the more complicated recipe from Les Halles market that I have made for years. I cut down on the butter and replaced with 3 tablespoons of olive oil, used 1 teaspoon of dry thyme leaves, our fresh is snow covered, and used canned beef stock. I did not miss the flavors from flour, garlic, bay leaves and parsley that the other recipe calls for. A definite make again!
