French Onion Soup with Cheesy Mushroom Toasts

It has been SO cold as well as windy here this calendar week! Which makes me simply want to cuddle upwardly on the couch alongside a million blankets, sentinel The Holiday (already watched it ii times this calendar week!), as well as eat this soup. With allll the cheesy mushroom toasts.

I haven’t had french onion soup that many times in my life, in addition to I forgot how good it was until I made this! My blood brother got me these cute footling Le Creuset Mini Cocottes for my birthday together with I knew that mini french onion soups would be the perfect thing to brand in them. And hither we are!

Instead of making just regular gruyere toasts, I decided to add together garlicky thyme mushrooms under the blanket of gruyere, AND I added parm! I ever demand a piddling veggie in my meals. These toasts are then freaking skillful I could take eaten the entire tray by myself. Pretty certain I could hold up of off staff of life lone.

The almost fourth dimension consuming function of this recipe is caramelizing the onions. Since at that place are SO many, y'all need a big pot similar a dutch oven, in addition to a piffling chip of patience. You but have to be at that place to stir it somewhat frequently to ensure the onions don’t burn at the bottom of the pan. Because nobody wants that!

Also, this volition definitely brand your entire household too yourself odour similar onions..just speaking from feel. 🙂 But to me, that’sec not a bad thing!

I likewise dear that this soup is only really 8 ingredients, not counting the toasts. But a few of those ingredients are pantry staples like flour, butter, in addition to beef stock! Super elementary.

This would likewise live such a fun meal to entertain with on a chilly night! Everyone always loves mini things, right?!
