Beefy French Onion Soup image

Got this one from a Betty Crocker cookbook. Changed it up just slightly for my family's taste. Very hearty and good when it is bitter cold outside.

I love this soup! It's so hearty and flavorful. I always serve it with a side of crusty bread.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover beef. I always make a big batch of beef stew on the weekend, and then I use the leftovers to make this soup during the week.

I've made this soup several times now, and I always add a little bit of red wine to it. I think it really enhances the flavor.

I made this soup for a party last weekend, and it was a huge hit! Everyone loved it, and I got so many compliments. I'll definitely be making this soup again.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my soup didn't come out as flavorful as I expected. I think I might have used too much water.

This soup is a winner! It's so flavorful and rich, and the beef is fall-apart tender. I followed the recipe exactly, and it came out perfectly. I served it with a crusty baguette, and it was the perfect meal for a cold night.
