Classic French Onion Soup Recipe with Crostini and Gruyere Cheese
Not much out there that makes me happier than a delicious warm pot of soup, and more specifically French Onion Soup. If you make it you appreciate the robust flavors even more knowing you spent at least 15 minutes crying over peeling and slicing onions and then again when caramelizing them over an hour while constantly stirring. Onions in there raw form are great on a burger, in ceviche or possibly with tartar, but onions that are caramelized belong on just about anything, including a soup.

FRENCH ONION SOUP // Easiest Soup You’ll ever make ❤️
My beautiful FRENCH ONION SOUP is a French classic that is sure to impress. The meltingly tender onions, the delicious ooey-gooey cheese and the crusty bread is so hard to resist. Deep golden caramelized onions create a soup that is filled with amazing flavor, I’ve simmered it with fresh herbs, optional white wine and I used freshly grated Gruyère cheese, but you can substitute it with other favorites like Swiss cheese, Sharp cheddar, Fontina, Monterrey jack and others you may like. I love crusty bread, and a crusty baguette will always do the trick, but you can choose your favorite too. This soup can be intimidating for many, but I’ll show you how easy it is, and I’ll do it step by step. This FRENCH ONION SOUP wins hands down, I hope you give it a try.❤️
