I love soups, all kinds of soups, there is just no end to the possibilities and it’s so good for the soul!
One of my all-time favourite soups is the classic French Onion. I remember making it with my mum as a child and when I eat it now, it just makes me happy. This is largely helped by the generous toasted crouton topped with cheese.
Soup and cheese on toast? What could be more comforting?
