I am a French onion soup fan! I could eat it everyday. I am rather ashamed to admit that I use a canned soup & then finish in the oven w/ the bread & cheese. My husband does not like it so I do it solo. I also use the better than bullion beef & chicken broth base, amazingly great stuff. Your recipe sounds so savory I may have to try it. ; )
Yes try it, I have not found a restaurant with a better one, although they do broil the cheese.
