Cook's Notes

To cut onion slices, halve through the root end; peel back skin. Place halves, cut sides down, on cutting board. Trim both ends; thinly slice onion lengthwise. To slice onions quickly, use a food processor fitted with a slicing blade (instead of a knife). This soup can be frozen for up to three months; to serve, defrost, and warm on the stove, over low heat.

    I have used this recipe for years. It is so simple to caramelize the onions in the oven. Even though it uses red wine, I believe the alcohol burns off as it is reduced. This is rich and wonderful tasting. So worth the time and effort!!!

    Takes time, but worth it! Both kids under 5 devoured it.

    WE USED NO SUGAR, AND INSTEAD OF BREAD WE SLICED A LARGE MUSHROOM AND PLACED IT ON TOP WITH CHEESE OVER IT AND HEATED IN BROILER UNTIL CHEESE MELTED. OH SO GOOD

    I wouldn't make this again. It took at least 3 hours and though it was close to be a good french onion soup something was amiss. The consistency was too watery and the soup way too sweet. I would say it serves 8 people though.

    I'm not sure where the 'serves 6' comes from, 'cause I got enough for 3 bowls. Maybe my bowls are bigger. I didn't use the sugar and plain brown onions and it is just wonderful. We also put our toasted bread with cheese on the bottom of the bowl, which is tasty as the soup soaks the bread better that way.
