French Onion Soup with Baguette

Good morning~ I’m so grateful to be here with you this morning! I love being a contributor at Beneath my Heart and I just love Traci too… she’s awesome, as you all know :)

It’s the time of year for soups! When the leaves start to change and the days begin to cool down into winter.

I love it! It just warms me right up and makes me feel all snuggly inside.
