All those recipes look great, if you want a twist try adding A 14 ounce can of stewed or diced tomatoes for every quart of liquid in the recipe!. also try substituting chicken or veggie broth for the beef broth for a change of pace, but French onion soup is great no matter how you make it!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Last time I made it, I used red and white onions, to be fancy!. Very disappointed--No flavor--too sweet--Use brown onions, thinly slice fry in marg, until onions are translucent!. Add a little flour to absorb marg--I make my own beef bouillion, but if you buy the AuJus Base, you may want to add a pinch of sugar, depending upon your taste and the hotness of the onions, you can do the same!. Put into soup cup, float seasoned croutons, cover with cheese--Go Nuts!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com

The key to a great bowl of French Onion Soup is to add a couple drops of vegetable oil to your butter!. Then make sure you saute your onion on a medium heat!. Don't rush this step!! You want the onions to carmelize but not burn!. also make sure your beek stock is either a really good canned stock or even better, one you make yourself!. It's those layers of flavor that will make the soup fantastic!!!Www@FoodAQ@Com
