French onion soup

[chazza]

My recipe states to use either vegetable or beef stock. For anyone who makes it, which is better to use tastewise? Obviously we're not vegetarians!

Hi Chazza i would always add beef stock gives it better taste and colour!!!

i never use to like french onion soup until I tried a homemade one in a french bistro - OMG!
The canned stuff is pants but I make my own and the whole family enjoy it with toasted french bread with melted cheese......Mmmmmmmm

I'd always use beef stock. Somehow a good French onion soup just wouldn't look right with a light coloured stock.

Thanks everyone, beef it is!
