In my opinion, 4 onions is too many for this. I only used 3 and still had to add some more broth. It was very good. I added an extra clove of garlic - couldn't help it. I placed the bread and cheese in the bottom of the bowl and poured the soup over it so the bread got nice and soft. Very nice recipe Miller. Thanks.

After looking at many of the french onion soup recipes I made several changes.I added a half teaspoon of dried thyme, and used less butter. I used regular onions because sweet onions are hard to find this time of year. Croutons were used to save time. I topped with a combo of romano and parmesan cheese. This is the best french onion soup I have ever tasted and my husband agrees. I tried freezing it and it was delicious. Do remember not to add croutons and cheese if you will be freezing it. Thanks to all the recipes that helped in this process. Enjoy!! Robyn a.
