If your wondering about the alcohol in this recipe… most of it simmers off but a little bit will stay.  It actually ends up being pretty close to the same amount left  as the vanilla we bake with all the time so no worries.

French Onion Soup is much easier to make than you ever imagined AND it tastes even better!

I hope your week is going well… it’s flying by!  Happy Thursday 🙂

    it would have been helpful for me to know how long to cook w/ the garlic before adding the wine. Also, the directions do not say when to add the thyme, bay leaf and parsley. I assumed that you add it before you boil for the 30 to 60 minutes.

    • Ruthie says:

      Hi Amy. I usually cook the garlic until it’s fragrant… a couple of minutes should do it. You’re correct on the herbs and I’ll fix the recipe now… sorry and thanks for the heads up. I hope that it turned out well- we sure love it! xoxo~ Ruthie

    Do we slice the yellow onions before they go into the Dutch oven?

    • Ruthie says:

      Yes, mam… I just added those instructions to the recipe! Thank you for asking so I could fix it 🙂 Enjoy this delightful soup… xoxo~ Ruthie
