    I was not all that impressed with this recipe. The lovely smells permeating the house kind of heightened my expectation for the overall flavor of this soup.

    FOUND IT!!! I had been searching for the best french onion soup and this recipe is it! This soup is delicious and I can't wait to make it again. The only thing I changed was the wine, I used white.

    Dear Melissa,
    This is the first time a simple onion soup got me so exited that I can not stop talking about it and I decide to write something for the very first time on this web page! The last time I had french onion was 10 years ago and since then I thought it was just waste of money to order this soup! Honestly when I decide to give this receipt a try, I was so not sure about it. I tried it last night and my picky 4 years old daughter and I finished by lunch today. It was so so awsome! Thanks a lot for sharing this wonderful mouth watering receipt Melissa . Everybody please give it a try. Remember the key is a Dutch oven pot for slow cooking!

    OMG, Melissa. You have always been my favorite chef. Every one of your recipes is to die for, and this one is no different. They had baby vidiala's at the farmers market and I have been wanting to try this recipes. It is amazing. A big "hmm" after each bite. I did use Havarti cheese, but was still amazing. i will be cooking big batches of this regularly. Thanks again!

    This was a super easy and yummy recipe. It took a little over an hour to carmelize the onions and they were perfect. I dumped in whatever leftover red wine we had and it worked out well- the flavor was very robust. Trader Joes has shredded swiss/gruyere cheese blend which was convenient. Definitely make this if you're in the mood for some comforting, easy french onion soup.

    This recipe is great to follow. There are two hints that I appreciated. One: how to slice the onions. Two: the long time it takes to caramelize them. Other recipes claim it takes less time, but I don't mind taking my time, and it pays! As far as the red wine, I just dump whatever I have left over. Now, I always happen to have wine, both white and red, at home so this is never an extra expense, as some raters complained about. This recipe is delicious!

    This is amazing! There is one restaurant in our town that makes to die for French Onion Soup, and this recipe tastes exactly like it. Maybe even better : It's exciting knowing I don't need to leave my house to satisfy one of my cravings. And so easy too! I added slightly more cheese-just a personal preferance. Thanks Melissa!

    I have been trying onion soup recipes for a long time and this is my favorite!! It has rich flavor and is really delicious. Cutting the onion with the grain really helps to make an excellent soup. If you are not sure how to do this, look it up online. It really makes a difference. Just delicious.

    I made this with all chicken stock but it was still good!

    A note to ladybluejam2 below.... I'm sure the "$10 Dinners" moniker comes from the cost of the raw amounts of things used, rather than the cost of buying a whole bottle. If you buy a $10 bottle of wine but only use 1/2 cup, it's not going to cost you more than $2 for that portion. So I would disagree that the show is deceptive, you should just keep in mind that if you are making a recipe for the first time the initial cost of ingredients might be more than $10. Hope that helps!
