French onion soup from The Barefoot Contessa Cookbook by Ina Garten

Laura on January 19, 2011

This is the first time I've ever made French Onion Soup, although I've eaten it many times in French restaurants. I would say that this version is definitely tasty, but not mind-blowing. The onions take way more than 20 minutes to caramelize, more like 40 minutes. Also, I would cut the onions differently in the future -- quarter the onion, then slice -- the slices were too long to eat easily. Also, if I were to make this again, I might use all beef stock instead of half veal stock.
