One Christmas, when I was about 12 I bought my Mom some soup bowls that were perfect for creating big bowls of cheese crusted French Onion soup. Was it a hint? Probably. For as long as I can remember, French Onion has always been my very favorite soup-the rich stringy topping, savory broth, and soft bread just beg to be slurped down on a cold day. Vino Luci has an amazing recipe which I plan to try this winter, and you should too!
