    I followed the recipe 100% from the beef stock to the cheese. My family loved this soup. I plan on making it again and again. Next time I am going to use a couple more cups of stock so it has a little more brooth and honestly I think swiss cheese would be just as good....gonna try. Over all great flavor, restaurant quality! Thanks

    I really liked this recipe...I made it with beef broth instead of stock. I would have liked it to be a little "beefier"...not sure if it had to do with the broth/stock situation or not. Tonight I made another chef's recipe, just to see which I preferred...and my daughter immediately told me to stick with this one. I would definately make it again. Not a high maintenance meal at all...it's wonderful!!!! Thanks Rachael!

    This recipe was easy and really tasty. I probably did "French Onion Soup Sacrelig", but I had to do with what I had. I used 4 cups of chicken broth (Bouillon Cubes along with 2 cups of Beef Broth, Croutons instead of crusty bread, Red Onions, Dried Thyme and Yikes! I only had Mozzarella Cheese. To top it off, I microwaved the cheese on top the first time and this recipe was still great. So, if it tastes great with all the shortcuts and crazy substitutes it will most definitely taste even better done the Rachel Ray way. But, then again, I don't know if I would change anything because it was so good.

    I used dried thyme, beef broth instead of stock, and provel cheese instead of guyere. I love guyere but it is a little expensive considering I am the only one in a household of four that eats it! I accidently added the 2 teaspoons of thyme to the soup instead of saving one for the top of the cheese, that threw off the taste of the broth a bit, but that was my fault. Overall, easy recipe and pretty tasty. Probably even better the next day!

    Both my husband and I loved this. Used dried thyme, sweet onions and book broth instead of stock (and used extra stock.

    This soup was very easy to make, full of flavor, and didn't take much time. Thanks, Rachel! My variations were based on what I had on hand. I used dried thyme instead of fresh. I also substituted beer for the dry sherry and then added a dry bay leaf. It turned out great! I toasted a thick slice of french bread before putting it on top of the soup bowl (as mentionedand then I put a slice of swiss cheese on top. It doesn't take very long under the broiler before it's ready to eat. Be careful, it's hot! I've had this soup at several restaurants and I loved that I could make a soup to compete with theirs!

    Use a good quality beef broth to ensure a rich flavor. Sweet onions tend to be juicy and cook up great for this recipe

    This is the best onion soup I've ever tasted or made. I saw this on one of Racheals shows were she added roast beef, so I made it with the roast beef it was wonderful either way.
