Help!!! French Onion soup..

with no depth of richnes or flavor grrrrrrr!! A favorite soup when dining out, so I thought I'll go to the Panera Bread site and use their recipe found here. I was a tiny bit above bland.

You know when you take that first bite or in this case sip and in your mind it is supposed to taste just like the very same soup you had at the restaurant a couple a weeks ago. Well it wasn't and needless to say we were disappointed.

It was just OK......see it looks good. Tell me what I did wrong please.
