We enjoyed this soup quite a bit and with a few minor adjustments would probably be 5 star. I cut the recipe in half and used the quantities stated. After the long simmer the soup was still pretty light flavored and not reduced as much as I expected, so I cooked at least an hour longer. I had to reduce it down to 3 servings to get enough onion flavor, so I would definitely add an extra onion next time. Also I would leave out most of the sugar, as we didn't love the sweetness. That said, we liked the texture and richness once it had reduced, and the gruyere was a perfect foil for the onion. I will make a full pot the next time! Made for PRMRT
