No need to change anything in the recipe, only add one cup like he said of wine, the cooking time is longer than the recipe said but if you just wait for the onions to caramelize and the wine to evaporate, it will be so good, the only thing wrong with this recipe is that people don't take the time to wait for the onions to caramelize and the wine to evaporate. That's how you get it flavorful, I will make this again. Taste just like a great restaurant soup!!

Good recipe, needs more salt and more flavor. I made it with gruyere and my husband couldn't eat it. Thank god we had provolone in the frig! We liked it much better with provolone cheese and I put it right under the broiler to get those brown bubbles on the cheese! I will modify this for next time but this is good recipe to start with.

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.

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.
