Tasty Tuesday: French Onion Soup

This time of year, I love to eat soup. Especially for lunch. But of course, I'm a total soup snob & will only eat a handful of soups from a can. The rest of them better be homemade. Which leads me to my favorite French Onion Soup that I can whip up on about 15 minutes or less! 


*Please use desired amounts, depending on your tastes & how much soup you intend to make. 

Ingredients:

• onions, peeled & sliced
• olive oil
• water
• beef bouillon
• dried thyme
• salt & pepper
• shredded Parmesan cheese, optional

Directions:

• Saute the sliced onions in olive oil, over medium heat, until they just begin to brown. 
• Add desired amount of water & beef bouillon, bring to a boil. 
• Reduce heat, add dried thyme, salt & pepper.
• Simmer for 5 min. 
• Allow to cool slightly before placing in a bowl & topping with shredded Parmesan, if desired. 

If you like your French Onion Soup "cafe style", place croutons in the bottom of an ovenproof bowl, top with soup & then a variety of cheeses such as mozzarella, Parmesan, provolone & Swiss. Broil until the cheeses are slightly browned & bubbly. 

Enjoy!

  3. I love the smell of french onion soup, and I remember my parents just dying for it and making it only once a year and having their friends over. But I just cannot stand onions at all, unfortunately :(

  7. The French onion soup is our comfort food and it's best to have during rainy days. It's also the soup my mom makes whenever we feel sickly or losing appetite.
