For a deeper flavor, use homemade beef broth.
Caramelizing the onions properly is key to the soup's rich taste. Be patient and stir frequently to prevent burning.
If you don't have oven-safe bowls, you can broil the cheesy croutons separately on a baking sheet and then place them on top of the soup.
A splash of balsamic vinegar at the end adds a touch of brightness.
