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!

Oh my gosh, this looks so good. I made French onion soup once - several years ago and it was delicious. I don't know why I haven't made it since! We're eating a lot of soup this winter, so this is on my list! Beautiful photos!

French Onion soup is a personal favorite for me, whats not to love an incredible umani experience and the fun of dealing with long strands of cheese and of course good bread to accompany. I look forward to trying out your versions.
