When my husband asked me to make this soup for a dinner at church, I prepared a huge pot and counted on having some left for us. But he came home with an empty pan and many requests for the recipe!—Lise Thomson, Magrath, Alberta

I love this soup. I've never made french onion soup before, but always order it when I'm out at a restaurant. I was surprised how simple the process was and that I was able to replicate this tasty soup in my home.

The only recipe I use, and my husbands favorite! I just eye-ball the oil though, 1/3 cup is way to much.

Absolutely delicious! Only change I made was instead of 1/3 cup oil I used 2-3 tbsp.... otherwise, it is very yummy :) Definately a favourite in our house!
