BEST French Onion Soup ever!
I’ve wanted to make French Onion Soup with the CSA onions. I’ve also been looking to use the short ribs
I got from our CSA beef share. Perfect
match!
This recipe takes time, but it not hard. Great for a day you are home doing household
chores that require lots of breaks – folding laundry, cleaning up the toys,
monitoring homework, etc. I did not use
a leek – find them expensive and don’t really like them. I roughly chopped up about ½ cup of celeriac
(from our winter share) and used that to make the broth instead.
No short ribs? While
they added texture and flavor and made the soup a whole meal – this recipe
would work great as a traditional French Onion Soup.

I buy most of my spices in bulk. I was recently filling up my crushed red
pepper jar and realized I was adding crushed red pepper to cinnamon. YIKES!
Then I realized that mixture could come in handy, and several days later
I stumble upon this recipe. That
combination worked perfectly here.
I have a friend who is trying to cut down on the amount of
time she spends in the kitchen, but still cook from scratch. This is the perfect recipe to achieve that
goal. It takes some time to cut the
sweet potatoes into wedges, but due to their size you only roast those 20
minutes. During those 20 minutes you are
making the Mole. Delicious dinner done
in under an hour!
