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.
