  • just made the soup using your lazy man's breadinstead of the french bread unbeliable Thanks alot

  • @itsmeandnotyou1 what a brilliant idea. I love that idea. Thanks for the tip.

  • you need to carmelize the onions untill they are completly brown for a better flavor.

    swanson broth hahaha 4 real try medford its real not that salty nasty swansons

  • @daveaoxomoxo that's great, but we don't have medford. That is our only choice. And it was the low sodium one.

  • 6 cloves of garlic or 6 whole garlics?

  • @RybotruckVideo the recipe in the description box under the video says 6 cloves.

  • Dude i just started watching your videos and i love them

  • Dang it looks delicious ! You could have used the Slap chop for the onions. You should use olive oil in the pan. French usually use butter to reinforce the meat with fat. Olive oil brings more colour and flavour. And generally french people use Gruyere cheese so you wouldn't have to mix 2 different cheese.

see all

  • sorry i mean use not uase

  • in the info box it said to use 1/2 cup dry white wine but how come in the video you said to uase only a 1/4 cup?

  • Hey Jack, really love your show. this recipe looks amazing as they always do, but i do have one problem with it. I've never had alcohol in any form or capacity in my life and would like to keep it this way. I know the alcohol is supposed to burn off, but i'm still not comfortable cooking with it. Is it really a crucial part of the recipe? Is there anything to substitute it with? Does it really affect the taste to just leave it out? I'd love to get a response, thank you. Once again, love the show

  • Dam, you made me wicked hungry!

  • Your cut the onions into half moon shapes

  • I love the cheesy intro :D

  • this is a pathetic onion soup. you barely even caramalized the onions

  • this channel is like cooking for inept people. the recipies always look worse thank anything iv'e ever seen of that food before

  • MINUS THE SCREW YOU PART LOL

  • JACK SERIOUSLY SCREW YOU, YOU'RE VIDEO'S ARE AMAZING AND I'M SUPER HUNGRY :(
