I love this soup, only started making soup 2 weeks ago. And I also added some tumeric.

Thanks for posting this recipe. I’ve made it for my family about 3 times in the past month and they are absolutely addicted. My best friend came over the other day and tried a bowl and said, “You know, usually I would compliment whatever you cook just because you cooked it. But I honestly think this is the best soup I’ve ever had in my life.”

Cheers!

I love french onion soup soooo much! I try to order it when a restaurant we go to has it on the menu. Which restaurant here in Manila serves the best for you? I would like to try it. Wish I could try Thomas Keller’s version at French Laundry. Thanks and more power!!!!

Hazel, yes, those would work well for this soup, but they would cost a pretty penny since they tend to cost a lot more per kilo…

Belated Happy bday!

I just wanted to ask if you could use the humungous dole onions (the ones you featured before and can also be found in supermarkets) to make this soup? Thanks!

So lick the bowl…the soup certainly looks bowl-lickinglicious!!! Not one of us thousands of blog voyeurs are looking! Hehe!

I can only dream of making this as it’s too time-intensive for a busy working mom like me. Maybe when I retire….

Belated Happy Birthday MM.

Another secret to avoid crying while slicing onoins is to use a very, very sharp knife. The sharp edge of the knife knife would smoothly slice through the onions cells(as against the crushing effect of a dull knife), thus avoiding the splatter of the fine mist of onion juices that makes us cry. This works for me!
