French Onion Soup

[Rael]

I'm not sure I'd add brown sugar, but the rest of your recipe sounds yummy. I've never used garlic in FOS, but I'm going to try that next time - I love garlic!

I'm glad you liked the idea of cognac - it adds an undertone of warmth to the broth that you don't necessarily get from wine.


Your photos of food always look as good as your recipes sound.

Since garlic can be overpowering, I'd use it judiciously. On the subject of sugar, I've read both sides to this (some say add some say don't), but the ones that said add it are saying it helps the onions to caramelize better. Not sure if it did or not - the onions are sweet enough on their own, though.


Thanks on the photos' comment.



I think it helps. Remember, we always feast with our eyes first--------->

I'd post the recipe I use, but the last time I posted it I got lambasted by the author for disclosing it. Apparently it was a secret.
