[[{“value”:”Panera’s French onion soup is wildly popular, and I’ll admit it is tasty. However, in my opinion, it isn’t real French onion soup. The traditional way to make this savory, cheesy, bread-soaked meal is to bake it until the cheese is melted and golden brown. Where can you get the best baked French onion soup? Here are 5 restaurant chains with the best baked French onion soup, according to diners.
The Capital Grille
The Capital Grille is famous for gourmet steaks, sides, and starters, but its caramelized French onion soup, featuring sweet onions, dry sherry, and Grana Padano croutons under a blanket of melted Swiss and mozzarella cheese, is a meal in itself. “Capital Grille has a killer French Onion Soup,” a Redditor says.
LongHorn Steakhouse
LongHorn is another surprising spot for deliciously authentic French onion soup. “LongHorn Steakhouse might be a chain but their French Onion is the bomb. Probably the best bang for your buck,” one Redditor says. Our ETNT reviewer loved the “ooey-gooey cheesy goodness combined with the savory, decadent broth and expertly caramelized onions,” calling it “perfection” in a review. “This delicious, gastronomic journey may not physically transport you to a small Parisian café. Still, you can take comfort in knowing there are good options to fulfill your French onion cravings much closer to home.”
Outback Steakhouse
Outback’s traditional crock of French onion soup is another fan favorite. “Outback has good French onion soup,” one Redditor confirms. The “buttery” gruyere is melted onto a “cute disc of beschuit.” The result is “a beautiful mess of rich and smooth broth generously loaded with caramelized onions. And it’s served with endless complimentary brown bread. “It’s sweet molasses bread, best bread to have with butter, the perfect mix,” says one Redditor.
