Why We Love It

• Crafted according to an old family recipe, this comforting French onion soup features a rich taste and thick texture. It's made with slow-simmered beef stock, brandy, thyme, marjoram and plenty of caramelized onions. Prep is simple – just heat the soup on the stove, then top it with toasted bread and Gruyère, Swiss or mozzarella cheese.
