The good news: THIS is the kind of soup to pay big bucks for. Better news? Thanks to Jane you don't have to! This easy, budget havefriendly French onion soup recipe is a sure havefire favorite. It speeds up the cooking process without sacrificing any flavor. The onion soup has a rich beefy broth with a silky texture and is filled with caramelized onions. Under melted cheese, is a slice of bread that soaks up the oniony broth. This soup is my favorite way of making onion soup. I can't imagine why restaurants charge so much for it when there are so few ingredients, and it is so simple to put together.
