  • Hey, French Onion soup without cheese? Without croutons or toasted bread cubes? Don't know if I would make this version.

  • Maybe it is so good that one serving equals 3 bowls.

  • To all the people who are concerned about spelling, add the total amount of liquid (39 oz), by the time you add all the other ingredients, this is going to make your two bowls of soup close to2 POUNDS

  • Kpriincess should proofread her own comments. There are tons of mistakes and incorrect spelling.

  • I am thinking that it must make 6 bowls because there is too much liquid for only 2 servings. But your right someone needs to proof reed their recipes before submitting. If your not much of a cook and rely on exact measurements, then a recipe shoud be pretty much presise!

  • Are the recipes proof read before publication?

  • Serve in 6 bowls; Yield 2 servings. This doesn't make sense!
