Plus, if you would like to make a smaller amount we have French Onion Soup for Two.

    To die for! I’ve made onion soup before and this is an easy recipe. Used homemade beef broth. The depth of flavour was so yummy. Hubby and Grandpa give it 2 thumbs up!

    I have not tried making French onion soup myself, but I do always order that when we dine at restaurants that offer it. I will try making my own this week. The recipe is easy to follow and I love that it is a slow cooker recipe.
