Hello Friends
How are you all doing? I hope you’re all settling back into routine after the holidays! It’s been hard rolling out of bed in our home… after the last few weeks of lazy days and sleeping in!
Today I’d love to share my new favourite soup with you! My husband made French Onion Soup about a month ago and I won’t tell you just how many times we’ve enjoyed it since! You will have to give this recipe a try!
When I was looking for a recipe for French Onion Soup I found that some recipes for this soup were sooo long and detailed. Which is totally okay. But I’m a more simple cook and this easy recipe certainly doesn’t sacrifice taste! The broth is delicious and the onions perfectly sautéed. The bread and melted cheese on top are the icing on the cake! It’s the perfect soup to make for a cold wintery day…. or for any other day!
- 1/4 cup butter
- 3 medium onions, sliced
- 5 cups beef broth
- 1/4 tsp. garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons parmesan cheese
- 6-8 slices French bread (baguette)
- 3-4 cups cheese
- Saute onion in melted butter in a large soup pot or saucepan for 30-40 minutes, or until onions begin to brown.
- Add beef broth and garlic powder to onions.
- Bring mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour.
- Add the parmesan cheese in the last 10 minutes of cooking the soup.
- Preheat oven to 350.
- Cut bread into slices and spread on cookie sheet. Toast for about 10 minutes, or until lightly brown.
- Remove bread from oven and set oven to broil.
- Assemble each soup by spooning about 1 cup of soup into oven-safe bowls. Place bread on top of soup. Top with a generous 1/2 cup of cheese.
- Place bowls on baking sheet and broil for 5-6 minutes, or until cheese starts to melt. Serve hot.
The smell of this soup simmering on the stove is pure deliciousness! I hope you give my recipe a try soon!
Thanks for coming by and have a great rest of the week!

My husband LOVES french onion soup. Actually, I think he mostly loves the cheesy bread on top of french onion soup :). I’ve never tried making my own, but your recipe looks ridiculously easy!
You’ll have to make it for him, Amy! It takes a bit of time, but not hard at all! So glad you stopped by! xo

This. looks. so. GOOD! Soup is my absolute fave so I’ll definitely have to try this recipe!

Kendra this looks so yummy! French onion soup is my mom’s absolute favorite but I’ve always been a little intimidated to try it.. I will definitely be giving this recipe a try!
Sydney, you will have to try it! You are an amazing cook and I know you would rock this French Onion Soup! Thanks for coming by and let me know how your mom liked it 😉 xo
Sounds delicious, how much beef broth do you use?
Thanks Jen! I added the amount… thanks so much for pointing that out! Have a wonderful week 🙂
This recipe looks delicious!I might substitute a clove of garlic finely minced for the garlic powder. A clove of garlic has the added benefit of ant-infection (anti-colds &flu) quality.
Thanks Carol! And that’s a great idea! I’ll have to try that too next time! Have a great week 🙂
This looks delicious! Thank you for sharing the recipe. I’ve pinned it!
