"I requested the French Onion Soup to be very hot. To ensure this, the soup should be heated without the cheese and bread until near boiling. Then the bread should be added in moderate amounts to cool the soup slightly. Top it with cheese, broil it, and serve immediately. If the soup is very hot, it deserves 5 stars, but if it is too cold, it only earns 1 star. In this case, the temperature of the soup was rated at 3 stars, the cheese at 4 stars, and the broth at 5 stars. Overall, this soup received a rating of 4 stars. - Roger Gustafson"
