Easy Cheesy French Onion Soup

November 26, 2019 Filed Under: Soups and Stews

With just a few ingredients you probably already have on hand you can quickly whip up this warm and hearty French Onion Soup to serve as a first course or even a main course.

French Onion Soup looks and tastes quite elegant, but it is so easy to make at home. #soupcourse #frenchonionsoup #easysouprecipes #heartysouprecipes #meatlessmeals #lentenmeal #thatrecipeblog

I had pint jar of beef broth that didn’t seal (grrr!) so instead of trying it again I just scaled down the recipe below to one third. Which was fine, since I knew the boys would not appreciate it as much as I did. It made a nice lunch for me for 2 days.

You can use beef, chicken or vegetable broth depending on what you have on hand. And the cheese can be Parmesan, Swiss or Gruyere or any combination of the three.

It whips up in less than 45 minutes and is so easy.

      Lisa, 275 degrees. Just keep the oven on after you toast the bread.

    Thank you for hosting! This is what I featured the week of 11-18 to 11-22 on my blog. On Tuesday morning was a casserole of Ham and Potatoes Au Gratin. Wednesday was my Grandmas Cheddar Smashed Potatoes. And wrapping up potato week was the ever popular Cheesy Potatoes. Enjoy!
