To my knowledge the French onion soup is made with beef broth.

So many wonderful vegetarian choices! I sail next month, and I will post pictures when I get back.

The other problem is that they seem to use Parmesan cheese which isn't vegetarian, so you would have to ask for it without this too.
Why is Parmesan cheese not vegetarian? Yes, it is not vegan, but unless they do something weird to it, Parmesan is vegetarian.
Most Parmesan cheeses are made with rennet, which is an animal product.
In fact, I would consider any item with ANY cheese suspect, until verified by the kitchen that the cheese is rennet free/vegetarian friendly.
Wed like veggies to have a nice cheesy smile on their face when eating out, watching cookery programmes or reading recipes but theres a problem: Often dishes and products claiming to be vegetarian use Parmesan.
Parmesan/Parmigiano-Reggiano is an EU Protected Designation of Origin product and has to be made using calf rennet, so its definitely not suitable for vegetarians.
Businesses, chefs, journalists and restaurant owners
Make sure your dishes are vegetarian:
leave out the Parmesan/Parmigiano-Reggiano
dont call dishes using Parmesan/Parmigiano-Reggiano vegetarian
use a vegetarian alternative
label clearly, if you are using a vegetarian cheese be proud and say so.
Can't speak for the US but here in the UK most of our cheese our veggie but the 'authentic Italian' cheeses are virtually all Non-veggie. I do find that even some pro chef's do not actually think to check if the cheese they use in recipes are veggie - they just say oh, cheese, that's ok for veggie meals.
