One of my favorites!
It has been a while since I have made french onions soup. It is one of my favorites.
Hi Margot, with all that onion, I hope it didn’t make you cry ;-)
This recipe seems much quicker than the others I’ve seen. I should give it a try. Sometimes I like to transfer the soup into an oven proof bowl, cover the surface of the soup with cheese and put it under the grill. yummm!
Almost? Why almost? :)
sounds lovely. quite healthy too with all that onion.
This a lovely recipe of onion soup!!! Gloria
Hello Everyone,
Thank you for all your comments.
Cynthia, almost because I used British not French cheese! :D
Hi Margot
Nice touch with the cheese, but did it need the stock cubes? When I make onion soup I tend to just add water and seasoning. I’m sure it was delicious!
Cheers

David, I’m not sure…. I use cubes for almost all soups so I thought that this one need it too. I will try next time without cubes and I will let you know :)
