“I am amazed that others gave this French Onion Soup high praise. I am disappointed in its taste, texture, and overall presentation. Maybe part of that is due to the fact that there is no beef in the stock; it is a vegetarian offering. Perhaps it is the slimy things that are referred to as croutons that allegedly are on top of this soup. Perhaps I am simply spoiled from having made this soup from scratch using homemade stock and home-made croutons. Because I no longer have the time to devote to this long process, I opted to try this pre-made offering, I think it's not worth heating the oven to 400 degrees and then baking the item for 40 minutes. I do not recommend it and I will not be ordering it again.”
