For a deeper flavor, consider caramelizing the onions in a separate pan with a little butter before adding them to the broth. If you don't have Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack or even a sharp cheddar would work well. A splash of Worcestershire sauce can add a nice umami depth to the soup. For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable bouillon for the beef bouillon. Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, stirring occasionally.

Oct 22, 2024I thinned it out a bit more than the recipe suggested, but that's just personal preference. Otherwise, perfect!

Nov 4, 2023I caramelized the onions beforehand, and it made a HUGE difference. Definitely worth the extra step!
