Onion Soup Au Gratin (page 56)

As a soup snob, it is difficult to impress me with a soup but Hamersley is knocking them out of the park.  Once again, this soup is simple to make and has a marvelous flavor, even when you substitute the low-sodium chicken broth in the box. 

As in his potato and leek soup, the wine in this recipe makes a big difference.  I did not have any sherry on hand (he recommends sherry if you use chicken as opposed to beef broth) so combined chicken broth and port with great results.

The bottom line:  Rivals the French Onion Soup in any good restaurant.
