Have you ever had french onion soup?

Okay, this is totally new to me, but my mom is going to try this recipe for dinner tonight. She never did, but as she and my father like onion (it's not my favorite food in the world, but I can deal with it, haha!)... She is going to try it (with some toasts). The expected result is something like this photo that I have uploaded (which for me, it looks pretty good ). It would be perfect for this cold day. What do you think about this kind of soup?

Dianne, I didn't like it so much. But, it's quite "good".

@WiseGhots That's too bad. Maybe you have to acquire a taste for it.

This is my husband's favorite soup. Although I love onions and soup - it's not my favorite. He likes them from restaurants, but I have not found a suitable heat-up one from the store. I even tried making it from scratch once - but honestly it wasn't good. I need to find that perfect recipe!

@WiseGhots Then it's easy to make a not-so-good soup . Honestly I think I need to find a better beef stock.

It's quite easy to do, but not so good (in my opinion).

I really like French onion soup. The more cheesy bread on top the better.

@WiseGhots We all have our own preferences. I reckon that's why potlucks work.

Crap. You just gave me an idea. How about putting Texas Toast in it? Now I might want to give this soup a go.

@WiseGhots If it is cooked right, with the layer of cheese on the top, it is a favorite.

french onion soup is DELICIOUS, especially in a bread bowl. it's one of my favorites for sure, and great for cold weather like you mentioned.

In fact I often see it in the western soups. However, I haven't tried it yet.

Had this soup when we went to a French restaurant many a years ago!!! The bread was sopped in the soup and cheese was over lapped over the bowl!! Quite different but tasty!!!
