This soup is so easy to make and it's always a crowd-pleaser. I love serving it with a side of crusty bread.

I'm not a big fan of onions, but this soup was surprisingly good! The cider really helped to balance out the flavor of the onions. I'll definitely be making this again.

This recipe is a keeper! I've made it several times and it's always a hit. The soup is so flavorful and comforting. I love serving it with a crusty baguette.

This soup was a disappointment. The onions were not caramelized enough and the soup was too thin. I won't be making this again.

Not bad, but not great either. I found the soup to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try it again with a different type of cider.

Easy to make and so delicious! I used a hard cider and it gave the soup a wonderful depth of flavor. My family loved it.

This soup was an absolute delight! The flavors were rich and complex, and the cider added a lovely sweetness that balanced out the sharpness of the onions. I followed the recipe exactly, and it turned out perfectly. Will definitely be making this aga
