Making this tonight! Been looking at some recipes online and a few call for flower to thicken. Flour or not to flour?

I vote no, but this is America.

If you want to thicken it with flour, go ahead.

I think I thicken mine with onions.

I sprinkle a little flour on the onions when they're done and cook for a few minutes before adding the liquids. It gives the soup just a hint of a little body, but by no means does it make the soup thick.

This CI recipe has a photo of what your onions should look like, though mine are a bit darker, usually.

Some recipes use a mix of chicken and beef broths. just depends on what you like. I tend to prefer all beef broth. On occasion, I've used a small amount of chicken broth. I just don't care for more chicken to the beef. Beef makes it richer to me.
