I lost my favourite recipe for french onion soup and I think this may be it. I did omit the extra bouillon cube, and used very little butter for personal preference. This is easy to make and my family loved it. Thanks for the recipe.

The use of a bullion cube is not good for those of us who have severe allergies to MSG. There are boxed Beef Broth in stores now containing less salt ans no MSG now.
