#french onion soup
reblog this and tag with a food you no longer have access to (closed restaurant, state you moved away from, ex’s mom’s cooking, etc) that will haunt you until your dying day, mine are the spicy chicken sandwich on the employee menu at the fine dining restaurant I was a prep cook at, and the onion bagel from the kosher place down the street from my house when I lived in the city
Food of the day: French Onion Soup
Got this lovely soup at Fran’s, the soup base was great and so were the croutons, the cheese selection was not to my tasting, and it would’ve been better if the cheese were slightly more baked. All in all its good since I was craving it, but its nothing amazing.

This week’s recipe came from the 1975 printing of the Betty Crocker Cookbook. Instead of blindly picking a recipe myself, I let my kid pick. I gave a few rules (food sensitivities, etc), but basically said, “pick whatever you want.” She picked French Onion Soup, and I gave her a high five. Potatoes are my favorite food, but soup is a close second.
I stuck to the recipe but then added gruyère and baked it. For the onions I used three small yellow, two small red, and one shallot. I think that was a pretty good blend. It would up being very savory and salty, and really very easy to make. My kid, my boyfriend and I all loved it. My other kid wouldn’t try it and my boyfriend’s kid took a bite but didn’t like it. I still give it 4 out of 5, only because it was my second bowl of French Onion Soup ever, and the first bowl was pretty hard to beat:
