I'm allergic to onions, so I'm not sure if I can make this soup.

The cheese was a bit too browned for my liking. I would have preferred it to be a little more melted.

This soup was a bit too rich for my taste. I think I would have preferred it with a lighter broth.

I followed the recipe exactly, and the soup turned out great. The only thing I would change is to use a little less salt.
