    I made this vegetarian by using a mushroom stock. Best recipe I have tried. Delicious and simple.

    We had a leftover baguette from panera that caused me to look up a french onion soup recipe. The bread w/ Gruyere was amazing. The soup was really tasty although I did have some issues with the wine "evaporating." I waited like 20 minutes then my boyfriend manually removed the remaining liquid and I continued on. Still tasted good though.

    Tyler - you're my favorite! This is the best French onion soup I've ever eaten - and I make it as often as possible. Easy and such a wonderful flavor! Thanks! Suzie - Alabama

    Very, Very tasty!!
    Used JoanieMK's idea and caramelized the onions in a crock pot on low temp. For 10 hours, along with the garlic, 1 stick of butter, 1 tablespoon of brown sugar, salt, pepper, and around a half cup of Cab. Sav. WOW!!! Perfect onions..... And the kitchen smells great for the day.
    After that, transferred to a Dutch oven, added the bay leaves and Thyme; reduced the rest of the wine 3/4; Stirred in the flour. Let it cook for a couple of minutes and then added the beef stock, salt and pepper to taste. Right at the end a bit of cream.
    I know that the cream is not traditional, but seemed right with the cheese!
    Perfect onions, great soup!
    Thanks Tyler F. & JoanieMK

    tasty? BEYOND!!! i have fond memories of my grandma teaching me microwave french onion - i thought she was amazing. since, i have elevated my taste for french onion ... going out just for the french onion lately.

    amazing flavor ... took me longer for the prep (i am not a wiz in the kitchen - and the carmelizing of onions took over 30. one thing that didn't go as instructed ~ after adding wine, 20 min on med high & still didn't get the onions to 'dry'. i dusted the saucy onions and followed the rest to the end.

    my 11 yr old also raved! MANY THANKS for the recipe!!!!!!!

    Wow! So simple and delicious! Be patient and let the onions caramelize. I love playing with different red wines. But, just made it again with Cabernet Sauvignon and its my favorite. Use a good, large stock pot.

    My husband considers himself a French onion soup connoisseur and said this is the best he's ever had. Some time ago, we started making caramelized onions in a crock pot (3# sliced onions, 1 stick of butter, in a crock pot on low for 8-10 hours and freezing them in small containers. Having that on hand made this recipe much faster and easier to prepare. We used Provolone because that's what we had on hand, but will try it with Gruyere next time for the added punch of flavor.

    I halved this recipe since there's only two of us. Seemed like it was taking forever to carmelize the onions, I think most of them reduced instead of carmelizing. Wine never seemed to completely evaporate, and, in the meantime, the onions seemed to reduce even more. Ugh. I used Pinot Noir and think it worked well;however, I thought the soup would have a stronger, more bold flavor than it did. I skipped a small block of $8+ guyere cheese and opted for Provolone. I may try this recipe again.
