I loved this recipe. I made a few changes. Not a fan of swiss cheese so I substituted with mozzarella cheese and provolone cheese.

A little bland. Next time I will take the advice of others and add some beef base and possibly Worcestershire sauce.

Very easy to make! I was going to use 2 cans of beef broth because of other reviews saying it was bland, but I only had 1 can so I used a packet of lipton onion soup mixed with the 3 cans of water, I also added some pepper and lots more cheese.

I give this 5 Stars for how easy it was to make. I give it 3 stars for taste. It was way too sweet for me. I like mine a little more spicy and bold. I ended up putting in worcestershire, beef bouillon, and loads of pepper.

i have made this soup many times but recently tried a variation by using toasted focaccia bread instead of french bread, it gave the soup a little added flavor from the seasonings on the focaccia bread.
