Nice, rich broth, and a decent amount of cheese.  Nothing outstanding, but no complaints.

Sorry about the picture.  We tried moving candles around, but it didn’t help.  The broth was interesting, and used a veal stock.  The gruyere was quite good, and tasted expensive, but there was very little of it.  I would ask for extra cheese next time, and see how it goes.

Update: Thanks to Bob Peterson for fixing up the picture for me!

You may be wondering why there are two pictures above.  Well, the soup came out, and I immediately noticed that the broth was delicious.  I mean really delicious.  However, it was cold.  So, after sending back the soup, a new one was brought out.  Thus, the two different pictures.  I hadn’t tasted the cheese in the original soup (I like to drape hot soup over the cheese before tasting), and I was delighted at the quality of it in the second soup.  Unfortunately, the second soup’s broth was lacking the sweetness of the onions that the first had!  It’s a shame, because this soup could have made the top 10 if you combined the first and the second.  I intend to revisit, to give it another shot.

Great, tasty broth with a perfect blend of gruyere and emmenthaler.
