Rich French Onion Soup
When entertaining guests, I bring out this savory soup while we're waiting for the main course. It's simple to make—just saute the onions early in the day and let the soup simmer until dinner-time. In winter, big bowls of it make a warming supper with a salad and biscuits. —Linda Adolph, Edmonton, Alberta

Ive used this recipe quit often as a base, I do add extra Worcestershire and 2 cloves of minced garlic.and 3 extra beef bouillon cubes, must be caramelized
I used beef consommé instead of the broth and melted gruyère cheese but otherwise followed the recipe. My family loved it. It was very flavorful. Surprised other reviewers found it to be bland. Definitely will make again.

This is the easiest and tastiest I’ve made for this type recipe
The most bland soup I’ve ever encountered. No way this recipe won a contest. We LOVE French Onion soup and I’m always looking to find the best recipe. This , sadly, is not it. Don’t waste your time.
I added about 1/2 cup of red wine and extra Worcestershire and 2 cloves of minced garlic.

I found this soup to be very tasteless. Maybe if the onion had been super caramelized as another reviewer suggested that would've helped. I even added 3 extra beef boullion cubes to the mix after tasting. It still needed something so I tried a touch of thyme and a couple of tsp of cider vinegar but neither of those did much either. Onions really burn my eyes so this was a double disappointment after the burning eyes from the onions. Will try another recipe as Jason's Deli has removed their onion soup from their line-up and it was so good!
This is my family's favorite French onion soup recipe!!
