• French onion soup is kind of like French baguette, basic French food, but not easy to achieve at the particular level as that in France. this time the soup is better than some earlier attempts. a vegetable broth ( simmered fresh fennel, carrots, celery, cabbage, radish and garlic ) is used in the place of beef broth. It is a good way to use leftover french bread, cheese to create a hearty and soothing meal.
