Gruyere is the cheese which is mainly used in a French Onion Soup but if you cannot find out the cheese by the nearby store, Parmesan Cheese and Mozzarella Cheese will be two better options.
What broth to use in the French Soup?
As we have used chicken seasoning powder in the recipe, the type of broth is not mentioned. If you are using a broth in the recipe, be sure to skip the chicken seasoning powder from the ingredient list. Mentioning about broth, beef stock is mainly used in the French Onion Soup.
