"Though I prefer sweet Vidalia onions," writes Marion Lowery from Medford, Oregon, "I have used every kind of onion in this delicious soup and always achieved wonderful results. I've even added mushrooms, as it was still well-received by family and friends."

SWEET FRENCH ONION SOUP



Sweet French Onion Soup image

Adapted a couple french onion soups to create an original recipe. Friends and family often request me to make this soup. It's a huge hit everywhere I take it. It's super simple but super delicious. Often recipes list a wine and say that you can substitute another wine if you don't have the one listed. For this recipe, however, the Riesling wine is KEY to it's flavor. I strongly suggest sticking with it for this recipe.
