This soup is fantastic! I had made onion soup before but without cooking the onion fora a long time, which is the secret of the wonderful taste and texture. This is going to be my favorite recipe for onion soup from now on. Thanks.

Resturaunt Quality outcome. Must make a double recipenext time!!I tweeked it & added: 2 extra onions, 1/2 tsp additional lemon juice, 2 small bay leaves, 2 cups additional beef broth & 2 cloves minced garlic. Save yourself some time and buy slices of swiss for the top (I also sprinkled w/ grueyre that I had int he fridge. I cooked the onion, deglazed the pan, and combined everything in a crock pot for 10 hours on "stay warm"...It just enhanced the flavors of the soup. Definately a repeat.

Easy and delicious. My favorite french onion soup ever. Cheap ingredients.
The onions took a while to cook but after that the whole process was fast.
I love all Melissa's recipes.

GREAT recipe! As other reviewers have mentioned, the onions don't really caramelize, even after an hour and a half, if you leave the lid on the pan. Too much liquid being released from the onions, I guess. Just cook them low and slow without the lid.

I substituted water for the wine, and about 3/4ths teaspoon dried thyme for the frest thyme, and it still came out great.

Really, really good. So easy too. I had some left over and two days later -- just as delicious. I didn't have baguettes so I used some homemade croutons that I had on hand. Worked like a charm. Melissa ...thanks for 'keeping it real' and not making us run out and buy a bunch of expensive ingredients which most of us will not use again.

French Onion soup is one of my all time favorite soups -when I saw Melissa prepare this soup, I had to try the recipe. It was soo easy and I couldn't believe how DELICIOUS it is!! I cut the baguette into large crouton sizes, toasted it a bit and topped w/ Le Gruyere cheese. My husband (who is not a soup loving guy even declared it "Delicious!" Thank you Melissa for another awesome recipe!!

I had never tried French Onion soup before, but I saw a picture of it on a magazine and decided to give it a try. I let the onions carmalize all afternoon and then let it simmer for an hour or two to let the flavors develop, but other than that, I did the recipe as is. I served it with Small French Dip sandwiches, and it was delicious!!!

This is a great recipe for a new cook. Nothing difficult about it. Tasted amazing, looked beautiful, and was inexpensive to make. Best of all, only one pot to wash when finished! I could make this weekly.
