Thanks, and for anyone that is having difficulty chopping onions without the crying, here's an incredibly simple tip - put them in the fridge for a few hours, then chop them straight away after taking them out! No more tears! I found some more onion soup recipes here if anyone wants to try some more recipes.

Just wanted to let you know I made FOS the other night and used a vaiation on your breadcrumb method (mainly because I mis-remembered this post). I cut the french bread into cubes and toasted them– then covered the soup with a generous layer of the cubes, topped with cheese and broiled. It was awesome! Interesting how we both found nirvana through mistakes, eh?

Thanks for the inspiration!

[...] some compliments on my homemade gifts, and I got to make dinner for my family. I was on a roll with some delicious soups. I even sold my first chutney! Then I made one so-so dish–chicken [...]

Man, I should start checking your site before I begin cooking… It’s getting a little spooky. This is exactly what I made for dinner last night, from a different recipe, but for the exact same reason. I wanted perfect onion soup! Mine was a bit too salty, but besides that, utterly perfect! Mmmmm… winter :-)

You made me homesick for my mom’s onion soup. There is nothing that beats it, well maybe cassoulet!:)

Katerina- Thanks! I’ve been having so much fun with my new knives…I can’t believe I went so long without them!

Ann- The breadcrumbs made all the difference—giving a little crunch to the top.

Brad- I’ll have to try the instant coffee sometime, it sounds interesting. :)

Bram- Surprisingly, this soup stayed very soup-like, even with all the bread in it. I really recommend it. Thanks for stopping by!!

Tigerfish- Happy New Year to you too!

idiopathogen (love the name)- I will have to stop there when I get to WA (sometime soon hopefully), I’d love to have a great FOS out at a restaurant sometime.

Thanks Deborah!

Melissa- you’ll be so happy you have this recipe if you are an adore-er! Happy New Year!

Tara- That’s so great about the devil horns thing—I didn’t notice until you mentioned it. Cool!

I have to say, I came to this post because of how it was cropped on Tastespotting – the handles of the pot were cropped just so, and it looked as if your soup had devil’s horns. So charming! My mother-in-law craves French onion soup, and frequently has to settle for subpar offerings. I am thrilled to see such a gorgeous recipe that I can make for her. Thanks!
