my address to send me some of that wonderful looking soup !!!

French Onion is my ultimate favourite of all soups. I have never made it from scratch and I just know I don't have the patience for all the prep you did!!

I love your thread presentation, the pictures and commentary.

Ever thought of pulling out the air brake and doing a tv cooking show? Hmmmm ?

I really, want some French Onion Soup now !!! LOL

well done P.
