Nancy Lee and Me - French Onion Soup

French Onion Soup – Love this soup. Don’t get it very often but now I have a good recipe that is quick that may change.

Origin

This classic gets its name from its country of origin: France. After making its debut in the 18th century, it has become a national treasure. During ancient times (and still today), onions were cheap and easy to grow, and hence, readily available.
