I've only had French onion soup in a restaurant so I was excited to try this recipe. It was very straight forward and simple to make in the instant pot. I will make it often now that I know how easy it is and so delicious.

I'm usually picky about French onion soup, but we loved this one. We had enough for two meals. I love that you can sautée the onions in the Instant Pot, and they taste great carmelized. We will definitely be making this again.

Found this recipe to be incredibly bland. The whole appeal of French onion soup is the bold flavoring, and this one fell quite flat. Should have known when the instructions were to add the brown sugar after sautéing the onions, which doesn’t allow the onions to truly caramelize, and also only sautéing for 10 minutes rather than other recipes that call for 40. Sadly would not make again.

I used a slightly different recipe (used venison) but followed the cooking instructions and the soup was fabulous! The directions work with basically any onion soup recipe i think. Also, I find that I personally like stronger seasonings so for any recipe as a general rule I double the amount of everything except salt. This has served me well. Thank you for great cooking directions

I'm making this again for the second time today. I decided to try it for my son who is visiting tomorrow, and French Onion soup is his favorite. Problem was, I ate so much of the first batch, I had to make it again so I'd have some he could take home with him. Delicious! Just like a fancy restaurant appetizer! My son is coming over to help me with something, and he'll be very pleased with this treat! Thank you

In reply to Sandra Miller. Hi Sandra! I am sorry you had this issue, but you are the first person to report this. Using just 1/2 cup of wine and cooking it off should not result in an overpowering taste, just give the soup rich undertones.

I followed the directions completely, used a good cab, and it tasted like hot wine. Yuck!

I was presented with a 5# bag of sliced white onions from a local charity’s hoagie sandwich fund raiser. I had everything else for the recipe, so I gave it a try. The onions caramelized nicely - I’ve dabbled in Indian recipes, and they slowly caramelize white onions to flavor their daals, so I figured the white onions would be an OK sub to use. My soup turned out a tad sweet - may be the sodium overload in restaurant versionshas masked the natural flavor . My red wine was semi dry - I’d make sure I had a really dry wine and Videlias next time to compare, and perhaps cut the brown sugar by a teaspoon or so. The instructions and cheese blend for the Crostini were spot on and delicious.

Never had it before but fixed this tonight and it’s DELICIOUS. I SUBSTITUTED the French bread for Texas garlic toast & will definitely fix this again. Thank you for sharing the recipe

One of my first attempts in using my new Instant Pot. It was so tasty I am making a vegan version today to give to my son and his fiancée for their lunches this week. (Substitute vegetable broth and omit butter.) They will enjoy it too. Thank-you.
