Reviews
I'm embarrassed to admit this, but I'm 49 and this was my first time making onion soup. Not sure why, since I absolutely love it! When I saw that this recipe is "Contest Winning," I had to try it... and invited my daughter and son-in-law for dinner, since onion soup is one of their faves as well. Yes, this takes a bit of time. But it's not difficult at all - it's super easy; the time is mostly in the cooking of the onions, and the simmering... which serves to infuse the flavors throughout, and is *very* worth the time. I did find this is quite onion-heavy... which I love, but just a note for those who prefer a thinner, more 'brothy' soup. (On that note, I used Campbell's ready-to serve 900 mL tetra pack beef broth; one tetra pack is roughly 3 1/2 cups.) I used sliced French baguette and Swiss cheese. This was an absolute HIT with *everyone*! My daughter actually refilled her bowl and took some home with her; my son-in-law ate only half of his burger, leaving it aside so he could eat the soup. :) The flavor is *wonderful* - just perfectly sweet, and the butter and garlic salt broiled onto the baguette added a to-die-for flavor, melted with the Swiss! Warning though: This is FAR more filling than it looks! I wasn't even able to take one bite of my burger, didn't even pick it up... the soup was a meal in itself! I will definitely be making this again, and will try it with Gruy?re next time, just to vary it up. I can certainly see why this is "Contest Winning"!
