    Can substitute Madeira wine or sweet Marsala wine for Port wine.

    This was an excellent French onion soup recipe and I will absolutely make this again. The wine and port add a lovely depth of flavor to the soup. I used red wine in place of the white wine and this substitution worked well. We didn't make the sandwiches but instead did a more traditional presentation by adding toast to the soup and broiling Swiss cheese on top.

    I hadn't made french onion soup in many years, and because of this I followed the recipe exactly. I was slightly dissapointed - nobody complained but to me, as written, the onions lacked the depth of flavor one would expect from careful carmelization over a long period of time. I think I'll try another recipe and see if I can do better.

    I always forget how long French onion soup takes to make. This recipe is definitely worth it. I love the dipping toasts opposed to the crouton because they stay crunchy and are kind of fun. The dijon on grilled cheese adds a nice high note.
