This One Pot French Onion Soup is So Easy!
Not only is fall my favorite season for the crisp weather, warm, cozy outfits , it is of course also wonderful because you get to bust out all your favorite recipes for soups and stews and of course do more baking. I love baking this time of year through the end of the year (before New Years resolutions start up again ha!) with all the warm spices with pumpkins and apples and everything in between.
I also love that football season is here and soon to be NBA season, and while I do enjoy watching a game or two here and there, admittedly it’s more because I naturally spend more time in my sewing room while my husband and son are completely enamored with all the sports on constantly! So yay for cookies and new fall dresses! :)
I love making a good French onion soup because that is my husband’s all-time favorite soup. I think when he and I retire, we need to find a way to move to France, because I really think those are our people. We are all about the soups, breads, cheeses and late night partying. At least we like to think we are. About 10 years ago we’d stay up on weekends until 4 in the morning hanging out together, playing pool and watching movies and shows all night while our little ones were snoozing. I don’t know how we did that! Nowadays, he is nearing 40 and we need our sleep, but we still like to pretend we are late night party owls.
This delicious one pot French onion soup from DamnDelicious.com is a party in your mouth with all your favorite flavors, without all the fuss and muss of ladling out individual portions into ramekins and that whole bit. You make an absolutely 10/10 perfect onion soup and top the pot with sliced French baguette and gruyere and parmesan cheese, and broil until it’s gorgeously melty and golden and voila! The perfect cozy meal for a weekend football game, or as fuel for your creativity to make a beautiful fall dress--whatever floats your boat for whatever kind of fuel you need ;)
I am embracing one pot or sheet pan meals as much as I possibly can these days with all the running around and extracurriculars we have in our family. The less dishes and less complicated, the better!
What are your favorite things to do this time of year at home when things get colder out? Are you a big sports fan or have any hobbies you love to tune into this time of year? Do you love doing more baking or cooking this time of year? Please share your thoughts in the comments below.
