Four-Cheese French Onion Soup image

This beef broth is slightly sweet...not too salty like so many other soups. Serve this as a first course on special occasions or as a meal by itself with a green salad.-Gail Van Osdell, St. Charles, Illinois

I followed the recipe exactly and the soup turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add a little more salt and pepper to taste.

I'm not usually a fan of onion soup, but this recipe changed my mind. The addition of four cheeses made it so creamy and flavorful. I'll definitely be making this again.
