I loved this soup! I'd never made french onion soup before and this was a very easy recipe to follow. I haven't made it since it was first published a couple of winters ago, but it's been on my mind. I wanted to lick the bowl, that's how good it is. I also like that you can vary the ingredients to your taste, not so much or a little more cognac if you wish. I'll try adding some wine as others have suggested.

I don't even use Cognac in my onion soup I usually use white wine and sherry and if I don't have any white wine I use Vermouth...I almost always use Vermouth cuz it's really dry and everyone loves my french onion soup : And instead of Just Tyme I put a teaspoon of herb de provence I don't know if I spelled it right but you get the picture. ...Have fun cooking.
