I'm not a huge fan of onions, but I actually really enjoyed this soup! The caramelized onions are so sweet and flavorful, and the broth is very flavorful. I served it with a crusty baguette and a green salad, and it was a hit with my family.

This soup was a bit too oniony for my taste. I think I would have liked it better if I had used less onions. The broth was also a bit too salty for my taste.
