Today’s featured recipe is French Onion Soup, which is one of my favorite soups to eat when out at a restaurant. But this week, however, I decided to recreate this famous soup at home.
When it’s as cold as it has been here lately, soup is one of my favorite things to eat. Is anything better than a combination of onions, broth and toast with melted cheese in a bowl? :). This soup was absolutely delicious, even my husband got a little upset because I didn’t make a vegetarian version for him, poor guy!
Enjoy!

which brand red wine do you recommend to use in this recipe?

A true french classic, another dish I could eat gallons of LOL. I love the fact that it's a true and traditional soup. As much as I would love to make it fresh like that, a shortcut my mom and I used (french-canadian mom) we would buy the campbells french onion soup, and then just get a good bread and some provolone and do it that way. It would just be a bit easier to make. Soups still came out great, but this recipe is definately restaurant quality.

How funny....I made French Onion Soup the other night. Except mine came out too salty :(...and I noticed that your recipe doesn't call for salt so next time I will have to omit that ingredient. Love the all that melty cheese on top!

Oooh! I made this in my French cooking class last month - the recipe called for a bit of thyme but was otherwise pretty much the same. Yours certainly looks much prettier - the pots are gorgeous.

I'm going to pass this recipe on to my sister- it is her very favorite soup. Unfortunately, it does not agree with me, although just looking at it makes me drool. Boo hoo.
