Without the cheese?! There is a time to reduce calories, and french onion soup ain't it. Besides, after a few bottles -er- glasses of that brooding Bordeaux, calories scmalories.

Wishing I had a pot of it brewing on the stove right now. But no cheese? No chance. All that great broth and great veggie definitely requires a cheesey state of mind.

It reminds me of the time I saw "Low Fat Fettuccine Alfredo" on a menu.
Hey, you can either have a low fat meal, OR you can have fettuccine alfredo.
You can't have both.
Amen brother.
If you don't want the fat, don't eat the alfredo. It's just not right.![]()

Roosvelt Tavern serves an excellent French onion soup. I was there last week for lunch but decided on something else.

Speaking of Roosevelt Tavern, if calories are not a concern, their Cream of Crab Soup with a drizzle of sherry is famous.

screw calories... enjoy the "forbidden" stuff as a monthly treat and you won't feel so bad...
or as my Bob says "I did 4 miles on the treadmill today... I can eat that ice cream sandwich"!!

I've made a variation during Lent substituting vegetable stock for beef stock. I did use some beef bullion for darkening.
Vidalia onions slow cooked for 8 -10 hours----wonderful!
