I first made this soup about 19 years ago, & was amazed at how simple & easy it was, as well as so full of flavor since it is made in the microwave. It really is good.

Cover and microwave on high 6-8 minutes or until onions are tender, stirring at least twice. Blend in broth, water, sugar, wine and pepper.

This recipe was a total disaster! The soup was watery and flavorless. I won't be making this again.

I would have liked to see more onion flavor in the soup. Overall, it was a good soup, but not great.

This was a great recipe for French onion soup. The addition of Gruyère and Parmesan cheeses gave it a rich and creamy flavor. I would definitely make this again!

I thought the taste was just okay. It wasn't bad, but I prefer my French onion soup to be a little more flavorful.

This soup was incredibly easy to make in the microwave! I was skeptical because microwave meals often lack flavor or complexity. But this was full of flavor and tasted just like traditional French onion soup. A great option when you're short on time.
