Quick and Easy French Onion Soup Tips for Success
- I like a smaller pot for this recipe, because it’s usually made for just a few people. A quality 2-qt. pot is a good size for prepping the broth. I like this heirloom quality pot (view here).
- I can’t tell any difference between name brand onion soup mix and the off brands…except for the price.
- Some cheese covering the crocks’ rims will help protect them from the extreme heat of the broiler.
- Serve with a prepared salad mix and the rest of the baguette. Pass around a traditional French vinaigrette and some Président butter.
