    A snowstorm appeared bigger than anticipated! In search of what can I make, I had many onions. Bg a Rachael fan, I perused the onion soup recipes and found this one. I have to say, this was the fastest pot of soup- so simple to put together, but without a doubt, so very tasty. I did have to substitute a thinly sliced bagel for the bread. I LOVED this pot of soup, as did my husband. So much flavor! Thanks Racheal!

    I also had a problem carmelizing the onions, but I think I didn't have the heat up high enough, but still it was the best french onion soup I've ever had. However I toasted the bread separately then cut a clove of garlic in half and rubbed them each, then slightly buttered them, put on the cheese melted them under the broiler and then topped the soup, my husband & I both loved it!

    I DO NOT know why I couldn't get my onions to carmelize. I got a French Onion Soup recipe from her new show A Week in a Day and it calls for 4 large onions thinly sliced and 6T of butter (no oil, to be melted in Dutch Oven over Medium heat, and then add the onions and carmelize which should take 4- - 45 min. After an hour they were so soft and GREY but definately not carmely. I felt if I cooked them any longer they would evaporate so I just accepted them the way they were! Definately not carmelized!!! Any suggestions...I need to find out what went wrong!!

    I loved it! I just made it for the 2nd time tonight. I used 99% fat free beef broth this time, ehh it wasn't AS good obviously, plus I used no butter. I'm crazy but still it's Delicious and simple!!!!

    Ehh, it was terrible. . . .Followed the recipe verbatim and thought the soup would be amazing considering how many 5 stars it got from the fans. It was quite bland, and I had to add tons of salt to get any flavor out of it! I was excited and ecstatic to make it for dinner for my boyfriend because he LOVES french onion soup and this sure was a disappointment. In fact, I am now embarrassed that I made it because it looked bad on me. Sorry for the negativism, but this is the worst french onion soup I have ever tasted.

    I decided to try making this and it tasted great, but I would recommend it to accompany a meal or a sandwich as it wasn't very filling and quite rich if you have a whole bowl.
    I cut up the bred in crouton sized pieces and topped it with swiss, delicious in moderation.

    I have made this soup many times. The family loves it. I use swiss cheese instead of Gruyere; its cheaper and I am able to buy it shredded.
