There’s something magical about the first snowfall in Arkansas. The serene landscape outside sets the perfect backdrop for cozy moments indoors. As the snow blankets Arkansas, warming up with a bowl of French Onion Soup becomes a delightful way to embrace the winter chill. This easy and delicious 7-ingredient recipe brings comfort and fills your home with the inviting aroma of caramelized onions. It’s a budget-friendly option, and chances are, your pantry is stocked with everything you need, except perhaps the French bread.
Easy Peasy Pleasy Tips
- You need at least 30 to 40 minutes to get the best-caramelized onions for this soup. Cook them medium-low and stir frequently. They taste amazing when you cook with this method. The rest of the recipe goes super-fast.
- You can use a 30-ounce container of beef broth or beef bouillon in boiled water.
- Toast your bread while caramelizing the onions.
- I also added a slice of Swiss cheese and chopped parsley to the top of the toasted bread.
- This recipe calls for oven-safe bowls. If you aren’t sure if your bowls are oven-safe, I have a tip for you. I have some new bowls I wanted to use for this recipe, but there was no label letting me know they were oven-safe. So, rather than risking a mess in my oven, I came up with an easy solution. Place your toasted bread on a sheet pan and top with cheese. Heat under the broiler until the cheese is bubbly. Place the cheesy bread on top of your bowl of soup using a spatula.
