Happy beginning of summer everybody!
Y’all are going to flip-the-flippy-flop-fun-out.
Guess what?
We totally made you French Onion Soup! Yay!!
**crickets**
Wait. We thought everyone made French Onion Soup to welcome the warmth of summer? Oh. Okay, so what you’re telling us is that French Onion Soup doesn’t scream summer to anyone? Not even the caramelized onions or baked, soft-centered cheese? Not even a smidgen with the fresh thyme?
Well, what if we told you the French Onion Soup that we made wasn’t a “soup-soup.” It’s more of a. . . tastes like a soup, but doesn’t require a spoon to consume. We're not entirely sure how these bad boys came to fruition. Well, actually, it was probably between the eight feet of snow Denver had at the beginning of May followed by rain, and then a brief heat wave. Our brain was caught somewhere between the yearning for comfort food and the thought of standing over a hot stove for more than 10 minutes would cause us to go bonkers.
Thus, the French Onion Soup wonton bite was born.
You get all the soft-centered goodness from the melted cheese and caramelized onions without having to encounter the slurps. Oh, the slurps, our, how we hate wiping you up. Does anybody else hate when soup somehow magically escapes your lips and a splash ends up right between your bottom lip and chin? It happens every time we sit down to eat soup!
Even though French Onion Soup doesn’t necessarily bring you backyard barbecue visions, this is still a fun appetizer you can whip up in a couple of minutes. Plus, it gives you an excuse to make caramelized onions with sinfully savory cheese. Need we say more?
