Every weather is french onion soup weather. A staple in many bistro’s in France. With a good beef broth and fresh thyme, the caramelized onions just melt in your mouth harmoniously. A delicious soup but the best part is the molten gruyere bubbling away on top of the crunchy baguette croutes. Note: make sure you use an oven-safe bowl or ramekin.
