“After years of enjoying Mackenzie’s Onion Soup as a repeat customer I was greatly disappointed with this batch. Same size portion but tasteless and loaded with bland onions. Very little cheese included .. will not order again.”
“Unfortunately, the soup had no dry ice in the package. All the soup was thawed. I was reticent to cook it. When we ate it, the soup was tasty. To be honest? I’m nervous to order anything else.”
“This is a standby for a delicious first course when putting out a special dinner. Or when I am to tired cook something delicious from scratch. Tip: to achieve that really wonderful gooey chessy outcome add a good gruyere. If it can find it, “Hornbacher Gruyere” it another quality brand”
“Microwaving was my only option for heating this soup, but the fact that the cheese topping was mixed with the rest of the soup was not a downside for me. I had not read the product description carefully enough and was surprised when the box containing the six frozen cylinders said "Vegetarian." For me, the starting point for French Onion soup is beef stock. While this is a very flavorful soup with plenty of onion, there were ingredients trying to mimic the beef component without success. Also, I was hoping for a more "French market style" thick soup with a texture that held everything together by adhesion rather than in suspension. I will enjoy the remaining five portions, but was expecting a different experience.”
“I ordered this soup as a gift for my son-in-law, but my husband had previously received it as a gift, so we've eaten it. My husband worked in a restaurant kitchen years ago whose chef was very fussy about every step in the preparation of his French onion soup, from the croutons to the carmelization of the onions to the melting of the cheese. Hubby was enthusiastic about McKenzie's version. I was suprised that it contains no beef or chicken broth, but is vegetarian -- yet it has strong umame flavor. I definitely recommend it.”
