French onion soup has been one of my favorite soups for a very long time. I try to order it at every restaurant that has it, and it's one of those soups that can taste vastly different from one place to another. I think my favorite is at Red Robin.
Today I was craving some, and instead of driving all the way to RR, I decided I'd give it another try making it at home. I used this recipe from Rachel Ray since she usually promises to be pretty easy. I've made french onion soup before for my family (with a different recipe), and while it turned out good, it was very sweet. And the batch I made tonight is good, but sweet. I need to try it again with a different onion--I used Vidalia this time which I know are sweet. I made a substitution of white wine (Chardonnay) for the dry Sherry, so that may be a way to improve it as well.
Anyone have a good recipe for french onion soup? Or any idea how to make it less...sweet?

I think if you google for The Barefoot Contessa's recipe, you might like that one. It's often recommended as the one to try.

Summer is moving too fast! I can't believe it's the end of August already. *whimper*
I'll definitely try hers sometime. *writes on the mental list*
