Today in class we had the opportunity to make french onion soup. When I first heard about this I was a little disgusted because I had no idea what it was and I wasn't ready to try something new. When making our soup we made little mistakes like accidentaly putting less salt than the recipe required. On the other hand we also did somethings well, like making sure our onions were evenly cut. If I were to do this recipe again i would maybe add more salt and a little spice. One thing that is very important in this recipe is to make sure the onions are evenly cut.
