The first time I made this is was WAYYY too salty, and I didn't add the salt due to previous reviews stating it was too salty. This recipe is delicious and so close to outbacks besides the fact that outbacks was much creamier than this. I used low sodium chicken broth(safeway brand's has less sodium than Swanson's low sodium), and a lower sodium chicken boullion that came in a packet..I can't remember what it's called it has the word herbal in it. That didn't make a too delicious flavor though so I added one chicken boullion cube without any water to match it. I have made this recipe twice in the last week, it is delicious! Everyone loves it and can't have just one bowl. For more than 3 full bowls, I recommend doubling the recipe.

My husband and I love this soup! I haven't had it at Outback — but I would now after making it at home! This recipe has been given to a few friends also.

I made this for my parents when they came to visit and my dad, an onion soup afficianado said, "It wasn't bad." (high praise) I made one change out of necessity — I substituted vegetable broth for chicken broth and I left out most of the salt. I did double batch but it wasn't enough for everyone. Next time I make this for more than two people I'll have to quadruple the recipe.

Great soup! Don't think I've ever had the Outback version, but we enjoyed this. I had to sub regular cheese for Velveeta since what we had in the fridge was hard and dry! But delicious nonetheless! I also left out all the salt since I thought it would be too much with the bouillon cubes. (I subbed cubes with water for the broth.) Also used skim milk since that's all we keep around here! Edited to add: Wow, guess I underestimated how much DH loved this soup...he just finished the leftovers and wanted me to make it again yesterday!

After finding about 3 different popular recipes for Outback's delicious Creamy Onion Soup (a.k.a. Walkabout Onion Soup), I decided to go with this one. Am I'm glad I did! I made this for my wife and me, and we both loved it. Taste-wise, it is pretty much identical, best I could tell (and I've eaten this soup at Outback quite a bit). Texture-wise, it was slightly thinner, and slightly greasier — but not enough to make a difference. I was more concerned with taste than texture, and in that regard, it exceeded expectations. Another note, I added a bit of sage, per comments from another review of another recipe (by an ex-Outback employee). I think this made a difference, and possibly made it more like the original. I also added a third oz. of Velveeta. Lastly, while the ingredients call for 2 tbsp. of butter, the instructions call for 3 — I went with 3, which may have been why it was a tad greasier. Thanks, Molly, for the great recipe. I'll definitely be making this again, and for a bigger party!

My son and I liked the soup, but it tasted somewhat different from Outback's and we were looking for more of an exact match. It is quite good though.
