French Onion Soup with Rosemary Flavor

 

            French Onion Soup, a very popular signature dish from France is a simple and a hearty soup. With few variations, I was able to create this delectable dish. I omitted the use of wine and added some rosemary instead of the mandatory thyme. Sprinkling grated cheese to the end product adds some zing to this comfort one-pot meal. You can enjoy as it is or with some croutons. or bread sticks. It can also be had in a pureed form, garnished with grated cheese. So check out the step by step pictorial recipe to prepare this comfort dish.
