    I like making the soup using vegetable broth instead of beef. Also, I like cooking my onions in a pan sprayed with butter spray to carmalize the onions first then add water and broth. - 10/20/08

    Good! I carmelized the onions first, before adding the broth. Instead of using shredded cheese, I put a slice of mozzarella over the bowl and melted it under the broiler. yum! - 12/22/08

    If you like a strong beef broth soup with a little onion flavor you will like this. If you want real french onion soup look elsewhere. Carmelizing onions are an essential step to making a rich tasting onion soup. There also is not enough onions in this recipe even if you did carmelize them. - 3/30/10

    This is a good recipe. I make it with a lrge onion. Sauted in the microwave 6 minutes, I always use Swansons NO MSG and Low sodium and always add a little Sherry. Company gets the bread and cheese topper I am allergic to yeast so I simply leave it off. Its a great company appetiser always gets raves - 3/30/10
