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 🙂
