  1. A bit salty for me but otherwise good! I just broiled it since everything was out already. Made for ZWT9
     
  2. So easy yet so flavorful. Loved the addition of the bay leaf. I did have to use Mozzarella cheese as I didn't have any Parmesan but it worked out great for us. Thenks for a great recipe. Made for Fall PAC

  5. I've never been able to figure out the purpose of the flour in most onion soup recipes, so I've never used it. It's nice to see I'm not the only one that knows you can have a fantastic soup without it. That being said, who knew a simple little bay leaf could do so much. That is a new addition for me, and one I will do from now on. The added flavour is not to be believed. Thanks mersaydees for opening my eyes. Unfortunately the only parmesan I had was the pre-grated stuff in the shaker can. Affectionately known in our house as 'sneaker cheese'. :) I ended up using sharp white cheddar. Nice, but the fresh parmesan would have been better. I'll get some tomorrow as I still have some soup leftover. Can't wait. Thanks again for a great meal. Made for the Auzzie/NZ Recipe Swap #25.
