My wife makes pretty good onion soup. We learned because we discovered ordering it a restaurant was risky. Sure if ordering it in a New York City French restaurant it would probably be fine. However, a lot of chefs don’t seem to have a clue. You don’t use cheddar cheese or American cheese on onion soup, you just don’t. It is not a vegetarian dish, it is made with beef broth, it just is! One thing is for sure, if you order it anywhere in France, it will be made right and look like this. You can buy a print of this at my commercial site by clicking here.
