This is seriously good cold weather fare. It’s probably best left for a weekend project but it is so worth the two hours or so it takes to pull it off. I have always wanted to make French Onion Soup and am really glad I finally gave it a try. jwa is glad too.

The recipe is from The Way to Cook by Julia Child. The only change I made was adding two thyme sprigs while cooking the onions. It’s also very easily halved for two, which is what I did, as there is only the two of us. Actually, our one cat Chelsea would probably like a bowl, but I can’t image that would end well.

So…two servings it is.
