Excellent! This was the easiest French Onion Soup to make and so far my favorite. i made a half batch - instead of water & bouillon, i used a can of low sodium Campbell's beef broth plus a can of water (that made 3 cups).

This is amazing! I've tried several recipes that include more ingredients and were trickier to prepare. However, this is truly simple and the best French Onion Soup recipe I've tried. I did boost the garlic to 2 cloves and used 4 cups of low sodium beef broth plus 2 cups of water and 2 beef bullion cubes. Thanks for this recipe!
