    I made this a while back because I was looking for a simple onion soup recipe. This was it. Like most people, I had to cook the onions longer, but overall I really enjoyed the flavor. I decided to melt the cheese under the broiler in the soup bowl the first time; yet, afterwards I just tossed the cheese and bread in the soup sans the broiler. That's how they serve it in France, so I figured I'd just go with it. In fact, I preferred it that way since the cheese melted into the soup.

    When I make this again, I'm going to saute the onions in my cast iron skillet to see if that helps to cook them more evenly. I also may cut down on the flour since I like my onion soup a bit more soupy.

    Awesome soup and it couldn't have been simpler. I had two deviations from the recipe. First, it took more like an hour to caramelize the onions; second, instead of the traditional bread and cheese topping, I used homemade spaetzles and mixed in some fresh-grated parmesan cheese into the batter and dropped them into the soup by tiny teaspoonfuls. I've been making it with spaetzles the past 40 years from an old recipe I'd found in a the newspaper.

    This was an awesome recipe! My husband used a not too overpowering cabernet sauvignon which I think made a significant difference. I used to use whatever leftover wines to cook with and the reds usually left me not too thrilled with the end result. Can't remember if it was Emeril, Guy Fieri or both who said not to cook with wines you wouldn't drink. Great recipe!

    wonderful treat! who knew I could make this?!
    It definitely took longer to cook, more like 2 - 21/2 hrs, but so worth it!

    5 Stars on my 1st attempt. The soup turned out decadent with little effort. My onions took little over 30 mins to caramelize, the soup tastes rich and hearty. I have 5 - 6 good sized portions. Will be making again, perfect weekend soup!

    Best french onion ever. Tyler is a genius, I wish he was on Food Network more often, his recipes are always truly the ultimate. Very important to let the onions get as dry as possible after the wine is poured in, also, the more carmelization on them the better. I added a bouillon cube with the broth to give it a little more hearty flavor, also cooked with a few basil leaves. Be sure to season to taste, def needs a little more salt and pepper added at the end. I wrote about it on my blog listed under my profile, made some homemade herb croutons that added a lot. My friends and family were all in unanimous agreement that this was the best french onion they've had, thanks Tyler this is on my ultimate recipes now!

    This recipe is perfect! I used half a bottle of red wine as shown in the video. Follow the recipe exactly and you should have no problems. The onions took longer than 25 minutes to brown and the wine took much longer than 5 minutes to cook down but every second was worth it. Great recipe!

    This is the most yummiest soup ever! My hubby is not a huge fan of french onion soup, but this put a big smile on his face. Onions do take alot longer than what the recipe says, but dont let that stop u from making it. Well worth it. Enjoy!
