This soup was a disappointment. The onions were not caramelized enough and the broth was bland. I would not recommend this recipe.

The soup was good, but not great. The caramelized onions were a bit too sweet for my taste. I would have preferred a more savory flavor.

I've made this soup several times and it's always a hit. I like to add a bit of garlic and paprika to the onions while they're caramelizing. Also, I use beef broth instead of chicken broth for a richer flavor.

This soup is incredibly delicious and comforting. The caramelized onions add a rich, sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with the savory broth. I added a few thyme sprigs and a splash of white wine for extra flavor. Highly recommend!
