French Onion Soup -- Flour or not
I am looking for a good french onion soup receipt. I noticed some add flour to the broth/onions. I assume to thicken the broth. Any other reason????

Never heard of adding flour. I've never bothered to make my own broth, don't deal with beef bones often. My mom always used the cubes, I do sometimes, other times, from a carton. From my studies, the carton and cubes are the same, the carton just has the water added in.
I like spend a lot of time caramelizing the sweet onions, usually in three batches, where the starting batch is almost dissolved by the time the third batch is nice and tender. Generous amounts of butter get used in this process.
The butter also helps thicken the broth when added with the onions.
