French Onion Soup!

Confession: As a waitress in high school, I SERVED a lot of French Onion Soup, but until yesterday had never tasted it.

Growing up, there were not a lot of onions incorporated into the menu, which was fine. I was basically never exposed.

I was watching Melissa's show and thought "I can have most of the ingredients!"


Since it's been super-cold lately, I decided I'd give it a try. HERE is the recipe.

Actually, looking back at it. I forgot to add the bay leaf, lemon juice and thyme. Oh well, it was still supremely tasty!!! I actually used white onions (I didn't look at the recipe before heading to the store; I was running errands and wanted to just run in).

Honestly, the soup is SOOOO super sweet. And there is NO added sugar. Stunning!

We top it off with these cruton-like items. They're onion-poppy sticks. Made with whole wheat. Extra tasty!
