French Onion Soup
Very good! Easy to make. This recipe is summed up by three words quick, easy and delicious Need more. Don't change a thing -- make it just like this and you'll be in heaven. A simple, quick, and tasty version of French Onion Soup. Been searching for an easy version of this soup, and this recipe fit the bill. Used a mix of white and yellow onions and sprinkled Gruyere cheese on top of the french bread. Excellent

This dish was fabulous, quick, easy, and delicious. I was impressed that the instructions were clear and my results looked just like the picture.

This is at best ok as a lazy way to make the soup. Sorry but if have to add sugar to the onions you truly don't know how to make it. The sweetness comes from the sugars in properly caramelized, well browned, but not burned, onions. The process takes longer over medium heat with lots of stirring and some attention but the final result is far superior. Fresh or dried thyme (cut the amount when dried because it can overpower, it's very strong) added to the onions as they cook and white wine to deglaze the onions is essential. Add your stock or broth and let it simmer and develope. Just as an aside, it's best to make this (as with any soup) today and serve it tomorrow.
