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.
French Onion Soup with Baguette is a savory delight that most people only order at restaurants.
But, you can do it at home too and you won’t believe how simple it really is either! I promise.

Hi Paula… you’ll love it! Thank you for the nice comment :) xoxo~ Ruthie
Sure! Hey, just a question, if I have no beef broth (I cannot use bullion) should I just use all chicken broth? Thanks again!
