Method. Open the tins, mix and heat through top with toasted french baguette sprinkled with cheese. Ratio 2 tins of consomme to one of onion.
It's been a while (the image is dated January 2017) but I may have got the soup from a tin and added the toasted cheese. I did have a tin of Baxter's French Onion Soup which I don't appear to have anymore. If I did have a recipe I don't have it now. Sorry.
Give it a try. Also get a tin of the onions and become a disciple like me and Delia! "Baxters soups are probably best of the bunch

A bit off topic, but I don't have time to post a full recipe in it's own thread. French Onion Soup - very easy. Slowly cook down a load of chopped onions in butter until caramelised (not burnt) - this will take half an hour or so. Add garlic towards the end if you like. Stir in flour, add a good quality beef stock (pref. homemade) and season to taste. Job done. To finish, toast a piece of rustic bread, top with Gruyere cheese, pop it on top of the soup in it's serving bowl and grill.Wow that from a can? I'll see what we have here. I can get Campbell's soup here. Thanks anyway. I'll try to replicate it.???????
