I've never been able to figure out the purpose of the flour in most onion soup recipes, so I've never used it. It's nice to see I'm not the only one that knows you can have a fantastic soup without it. That being said, who knew a simple little bay leaf could do so much. That is a new addition for me, and one I will do from now on. The added flavour is not to be believed. Thanks mersaydees for opening my eyes. Unfortunately the only parmesan I had was the pre-grated stuff in the shaker can. Affectionately known in our house as 'sneaker cheese'. I ended up using sharp white cheddar. Nice, but the fresh parmesan would have been better. I'll get some tomorrow as I still have some soup leftover. Can't wait. Thanks again for a great meal. Made for the Auzzie/NZ Recipe Swap #25.

Very easy to make...not much prep time and delicious.I did add an equal amount of shredded mozzarella because I knew my guys would prefer it mixed.I used freshly grated Parm ....I can die happy now...I think fresh parm is the cats meow!

This is delicious! I love how easy it is and it has a rich flavor. I did bake in the preheated oven for about 10 minutes, but used the broiler to brown the top better. Thanks for sharing!
