Chase the Chill with a French Onion Soup Recipe

With the weather shifting towards the freezing marks, a hearty soup will warm you up. As you may have noticed, I am fond of soups and creams. I am always looking for new ones to try and taste. One of the latest soup recipes I tried is a French onion soup one. Why onion soup? Because I ended up having 10 lb of onions on my hand. I sent my husband for some errands. I asked for onions; he came back with 10 lb bag.

No matter how many homemade meals use onions, I would not have used them before they went to waste. So I thought of making a batch of onion soup for those cold fall and winter nights. This recipe was inspired from this Food Network’s pin. I tweaked it a bit to make it my own. Let’s see how you can make it.
