French Onion Soup with Gruyère Recipe
French Onion Soup proves caramelized onions and rich broth can comfort your soul without raising cholesterol.
Sweet, golden onions slowly surrender their sugars, making kitchens smell like someone actually knows what they’re doing.
Vegan Gruyère melts decadently on crusty bread, silently judging your takeout habits from last week.
Every spoonful whispers, “Yes, adulting is hard, but at least your soup isn’t bland tonight.”
Sprinkle fresh thyme or a dash of sherry to feel fancy, because life deserves drama and indulgence daily.
