I made this one just like the recipe calls for. It was really yummy and really very easy! We had French Onion Soup at a French Restaurant in "France" at Epcot.......absolutely unbelievable! While this recipe was really good and we'll make it again.....next time I think we'll try a different kind of cheese to see what we like best. The restaurant used a stronger, more flavorful cheese and we LOVED IT! -Darla-
