Longhorn’s French Onion Soup...
Rarely will I find a French Onion Soup that’s not too salty. At my latest visit to Longhorn, it was just the opposite.
My husband and I visited the steakhouse this afternoon to celebrate his birthday. Looking to eat on a lighter side than usual, I opted to go for the soup and a side salad. I was shocked to find the concoction virtually flavorless.
The broth for the soup was just okay, but while most restaurants use too much salt, Longhorn’s French Onion soup was obviously lower in sodium - I could barely taste the salt. Some might clap about this, but truth be told, salt is a key ingredient in a good onion soup.
Worse was the cheese, which had a terrific smell, but was also quite flavorless. Of course I was disappointed that it was only melted over the top. It wasn’t baked to a nice golden brown.
I didn’t mind the large wedges of onion (opposed to ringlets) and the bread used was alright. By the time I was done, however, no flavor nor odor was lingering about my palate.
I will give them two thumbs up for their new appetizer, Firecracker Chicken Wraps. They describe them as:
Crispy fried flour tortillas filled with spicy grilled chicken. Served with cool avocado-lime dipping sauce.
They weren’t as spicy as you’d think, and next time around I’ll make a version at home. I truly enjoy experiencing new, simple dishes.
