My substitutions were minor...added 1 tsp garlic during the final simmer and used a dry Spanish Rioja wine (Marqués de Cáceres) because I love it! Then a topping of provolone and it was delicious 😋 Great recipe!!

onions took 30-45 to carmelize. added a teaspoon or two of flour after the wine step. simmered wine for about 15 min add more broth next time (did one quart thing this time which was already 1/2 cup more than recipe for 2) add salt pepper and garlic powder to taste - was really sweet at first, added a bit of salt until it tasted better) after broth boils didn't use chives use less thyme did 1 teaspoon add cheese and then add the baguette and then cheese (bread pretty soggy) put in longer for better cheese crisp. toasted baguette in toaster with a little olive oil before putting in soup - next time more crisp or croutons maybe
