That soup looks delicious, but I’ll have to wait until the temperature returns to the double digits to make a batch.

I can’t stand onions, but I’ve always loved the broth onion soup is in – oh, and the cheezy bread!

I don’t think I ever use green onions without thinking of you! They are such a nice addition to most anything. I will need to try this soup b/c French Onion Soup is on my last meal list…I get it whenever I go out just so I can try all the different kinds. This looks particularly good as only you can style this well on a day-to-day basis!

Haven’t made it in ages! I always had trouble getting the cheese to encase the whole bowl like they do in the steak houses!

What pretty onions fresh from your garden. I agree about the use of beef or veal – much preferred to chicken stock in French onion soup.

I use local Vidallia onions in my onion soup…great idea on wrapping the garni inside the celery! Got to give that a try!

I too have many green onions that are mature. Never thought to use them in onion soup. I love the bouquet garni inside the celery. Great idea.

LOVE this soup. onions are just so sweet and flavorful. Made English Cheddar Onion soup earlier this year. Also very good and quite different.

Will try this one when weather turns cooler. Soup when it is 100 outside just doesn’t work for me.

I make a pretty darned good onion soup but have never used green onions. It does look appealing. Something warm actually helps to cool you down.

I never let the weather get in the way of my cooking either. That’s what air conditioners are for!

This soup looks absolutely fantastic. I love the sound of using veal stock as a base!
