French Onion SoupIts winter and its cold out so nothing hits the spot better then French Onion soup. I am what some may call a French onion soup connoisseur, I have tried many and made many. But it was a few years ago that I finally found the best recipe of them all. Not in one of my many French cookbooks but in the local paper. The French Onion soup… |
