I was disappointed. It was a very bland amber colored pot of ” boiled onions” I had never heard of using any chicken stock in french onion soup and doubt I ever will again. I wanted rich, flavorful dark brown soup. So I added beef bouillon, about 3 more tablespoons of Worcestershire, 2 shakes of paprika and 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa powder. I let it simmer amunet 10 minutes and dispense into bowls with slices of baguette and gruyere/ swiss mix and broiled… delicious!

I found the actual Brown Derby Onion Soup recipe in the March 1933 issue of Photoplay magazine. It only calls for chicken stock, and doesn’t identify any of the spices used.
Here it is, exactly as printed…
Method: Slice two large onions, and saute in a skillet, using a generous amount of butter. When they are brown, add a quart of rich chicken broth. Heat thoroughly, and season to taste.
Pour in individual soup bowls, and place half a French roll on top. Sprinkle a tablespoon of grated Parmesan cheese on top of each roll, and brown under the broiler flame for five minutes. Enough for six servings.
