English French Onion Soup.

Last night I made Jamie's "English" Onion Soup. It was good and easy. Unfortunately, I felt that the recipe as it was was a bit lacking in seasoning. I checked out Epicurious.com for other french onion soup recipes for comparison and I ended up adding into the soup some marsala wine and a little bit of dijon mustard (egads!). End result? It was pretty good. Jamie's got you putting grated cheddar ontop of the soup-- I went with both cheddar and gruyere (because my motto is, everything's better with more cheese... much like "everything's better with potatoes"). Served up with a nice caesar salad and it was a good dinner! (Downside? Even by bedtime my eyes were still watering from the onions... oh, well!)
