The only thing different I would do is make sure the cheese covers the top and sides of the bowl a bit. Love pulling the cheese off to eat after the soup is gone!!!

Hi Alexa, Just use a heavy-bottomed pot, preferably at least 5 quarts.

Hi Sandy, You could go ahead and use all beef broth. Enjoy!

Has anyone tried this with just beef broth? My mom loves french onion soup and is now allergic to chicken, so sadly she rarely gets to eat most soups. I’d love to surprise her with some she can eat when she comes over for dinner the next time.

When you made the soup, did you stir the burnt edges in?

Hi Andy, According to the recipe head notes, this is done to impart a deep, caramelized flavor while not requiring constant stovetop attention. The crust adds significant flavor as well.

I’m a big fan of this soup and have made it twice (and gave the recipe to my mom who just made it yesterday) and was wondering what the difference is between cooking the onions in the oven and just on the stove…? I normally just cook the onions on medium heat over the stove for ~30mins… Also, what does cooking it repeatedly into a crust do? Does this all just intensify the flavour?

I would love to know since I can’t use beef broth (parents on a beef-free diet sadly!) and I find that chicken/veggie stock just doesn’t seem to give that extra ‘umph’ to the intensity!

Sweet onions are not sweet in that they contain any sugars or sacchirides. They are called sweet because they contain less of the irritating alkaloids that other onions contain. They will not make your soup sweet.

I can’t believe that I didn’t comment the first time I saw this post. French onion soup is my favorite soup, especially with Swiss cheese. I’m so grateful that you included the note to not use sweet onions because I would have. Yellow onions and Swiss cheese are both on sale this week.

French onion soup is one of my favorites, though I’ve never jumped in and made it yet. It reminds me of when my mom and I used to go out together when I was little! I love the taste with the bread and cheese on top.
