also a cool idea is to fry an onion ring instead of bread and melt the cheese on top of it

This was passed to me from my dad's wife. So I just tweaked it a touch to my liking! Great winter soup. So easy to make and freaking awesome!!!!

What's the story behind this recipe?

I am not sure where this recipe came from (it is typewritten on a recipe card that belonged to my mother), but it is one of my youngest daughter's favourites. It has been modified slightly from the original recipe.

The best French Onion Soup.

My dad taught me this recipe, yes, it is a bit time consuming, but so worth every minute!!

I made this soup solely to utilize this hard French bread that I had. Hahaha... so I used a whole bag of onions to essentially save some croutons. Well worth it.

I accidently defrosted a pack of onions so needed to cook something.

It’s probably the most loved and popular French recipe worldwide! Watch full recipe video at: https://youtu.be/yWb4ygzX77I

My mom used to make this recipe for my siblings and me when we were kids.
