PUT A SILVER TEA SPOON IN YOUR MOUTH, THIS WILL STOP ANY TEARS, TRIED AND TESTED LOTS,

Tried with and without Worcester and caramelising the onions. Little difference was seen
and each time had a fantastic result. Have tried with different cheeses on the massive
croûton (please try it, if you haven\'t yet) and found most work, although some smelly
Brie was fantastic. Great recipe and very adaptable, thank you.

Lovely without the Worcester sauce for me. I blend half for a smoother finish, my
husband doesn't like garlic silly
bloke, so I do him a cheese on toast with dried herb flavouring, just a sprinkle is good
unless the jar is three years outa date init :-))

When cut, onions bleed through their roots. Cut onion in half from top to bottom. Slice
off top but leave root in place, it holds the onion together while slicing or chopping.
Chop onion in normal manner discarding root when finished. No tears!

I made this French Onion soup for a starter at my dinner party and it went down a treat.
All my friends loved it and their bowls were clean. It is very easy to make and I
recommend it. I just recommend you wear waterproof mascara as the onions will make you
cry.

The way to not cry when cutting onions is simply to keep your mouth closed! The soup is
DELICIOUS! Beware adding too much sauces and stock though. It can cause terrible thirst
after you eat the soup.

Very easy recipe. I read the above comments and decided not to add the Worcestershire
Sauce and found the soup to be delicious. My first time tasting French Onion Soup and
will definitely make it again.

For authenticity, slice but not chop the onions, don't bother with the Worcester, and
you don't even need to caramelize the onions - just seat them till they are yellow
before adding the liquid. The sugary caramelly taste is a recent American addition imho.

Worcestershire Sauce in French Onion Soup? They say you should try things before you
give an opinion but there are some things you know will just be horrible without having
to do so! What a way to ruin a good meal. Was this site sponsored by Lee and
Perrins?

I omitted the worc. sauce but also added sprinkle of sugar a la Delia to the onions her
recipe pres. This is to help caramelise them. Don't do this, it gives a sweet taste you
don't want - partic if you go for the sherry option. I'd run out of wine. Stock
cubes can be harsh I used Bovril in water, veggies could opt for Marmite. Don't fancy
the cheese on toast side accomp best tasted garlic bread in the bottom of the bowls and
melted gruyere or emmental on top. Good cheap soul food

When peeling onions DON'T cut the root end off until the very end. This way you will not
be in floods of tears. TRY IT works !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lovely French Onion Soup recipe, thanks. I have no crying problem. I was told many
years ago to put my onions in the fridge for an hour before peeling and I have always
followed this advice. It works for me.

French onion soup should never contain Worcester sauce.

Couldn't bring myself to put all the butter in! The soup was great, and how cheap are
onions. Thanks for the recipe.

Please no Worcestershire Sauce.... Put the toasted bread in the bottom of the bowls, it
will rise to the top as you pour the French onion soup in. Then sprinkle the
cheese on top, and put under grill.

Simply excellent. I looked around at many popular chefs French Onion Soup recipes but
this one was by far the best.

To avoid a "crying good time" while chopping onion, put on a pair of swim goggles.
