Hmmmm. DH followed the recipe exactly, but we were quite disappointed. Tasted very bland. We used low sodium beef broth and bullion, but then I had to add some salt to try and perk it up a bit. Didn't help. Thanks, though, for sharing your recipe.

Absolutely wonderful! It was easy to make and tasted great. I made it early today, and we had it for dinner...I added about 1/2 cup of some red wine with the broth, and 2 cloves of garlic with the onions. Used slices of swiss instead of shredded, personal preference. Looking forward to the next time!

I think this one is the real french soup but I'm afraid some wine is missing ! Thank you.
