Hi Lenny ! Thank you very much for this recipe. I have enjoyed French onion soup many times over the years in many places, including Paris. But I've never been able to create the fantastic taste I've enjoyed in some French Restaurants at home. Your video is appreciated along with your clear instructions. I decided to give it a try and found it was absolutely delicious and better than many I've had before! The sherry and three cheese toppings including the Gruyere came together perfectly. Question: in your opinion would this also work if the onions were sliced and the soup was made the day before (or two days before) being served, and refrigerated? I'm wondering if this might be a quick way to have it ready for guests, so that only the cheese and sliced baguette would need to be added as a topping before serving.
I am glad that you liked it. You can definitely make it 1 or 2 days before and keep in the fridge. Once you are ready to serve just warm it up add bread and cheese
@@LoungingwithLenny Lenny! Thank you so much for your thoughtful and quick reply! I really appreciate it. I just discovered your channel this evening looking for a French onion soup recipe and it's good to know you recommend only the sherry. I'm still not sure how your "reduce "the wine by 75 per cent.....Does this mean you let it evaporate so you have just 25% left and the volume is then reduced by the heat? Please forgive my lack of knowledge about this. Lenny, I just saw you speak of your MS. You spoke with great clarity and purpose (even if I'm a bit slow about the soup volume! 🙄) just as you do in your videos. You have a wonderful, God- given gift to communicate. Thank you for sharing this gift along with you cooking skills. As you mentioned you are a Dad, it is clear that you are teaching your children a valuable lesson about life which is enhanced by sharing one's talents along with being positive during difficult challenges. I am wishing you improved health, along with love and laughter with your family and more. Thank you so much for being the special guy you are, so that even I and other people you don't know, can learn from you as well as be inspired by your creativity!
@@myjeevie thank you so much for support. About the soup. Yes evaporate 75 percent of wine and then add other ingredients. Sherry wine is a great choice since it is on a sweet side. Also you can use pinot grigio. I cooked onion soup with lager in one of the hotels in NY. You can use it as well.

Beautiful. Let me know how it is when you make it.
Making your recipe again today chef. Thank you.

Hi, Lenny, I love this video. Do my eyes deceive me, or are those pieces of bread you put in the soup tiny? This is just out of curiosity. Thank you.
Hey. I am glad you like this video. The bread i cut about 1 inch thick peaces.
Fabulous looking chef
Thank you
Hello, were did you buy the soupbowls in the video?
Hello. I got them on amazon. They are outstanding. Definitely need to get them. You can check the link to them in the video descriptions
very lovely
Thanks.
Would substituting white wine for the sherry work? When you said "Reduce by 75%, did you mean the temperature on the stove? Thank you for this video!
No you can't use white whine for onion soup. Sherry is the best choice to go with. Redude the wine by 75 percent
