i really liked this. i haven't eaten a ton of FO soup in my day (long story... soup, puke, birthday, emotional scarring...), but i've been dying to make it for some reason, and today worked out to be a perfect day for it since we had a freak snow sprinkle. i will warn you that if you make this and are the onion-stirrer, you will stink. i ran out to CVS and the cashier took a big sniff and said "mmm someone is cooking something good in the back room"... to which i looked down, kicked some fake rocks, and said "umm... that might be me" because i was so smelly and it was awkward. she then said that i, aka the soup, smelled delicious. still not sure to be happy dinner smelled good (or like the CVS breakroom), or sad that i smelled like an onion bomb. stinky aside, dinner was yum and i'd pop this recipe a 6.5 ******~. next time i would skip the worchestshire - maybe i over-poured, but that flavor came through too much for me, it did not play nice.
