Submitted by witchstorm

"I love outback french onion soup. I haven't found a recipe that a perfect match so I keep playing with them. I found this one to be very delicious and pretty simple to make."

Delicious & easy! I added 1 t thyme, a splash of red wine, and an extra onion. Gooey cheese on crisp french bread rounds made a satisfying meal. Thank you for sharing the recipe!
