I am a soup person. It’s my go-to comfort food. It’s what I make the second the air turns crisp in early fall and all through the winter when I want to warm up. It’s my favorite thing to eat when I feel like I’m getting sick, when I feel down, when I crave something nourishing, if I want to eat a bunch of vegetables, or I just need to clean out my fridge and pantry.
So, I make a lot of soup; over the years I’ve made hundreds of pots of it. That said, I’m here to tell you—with absolute certainty—that this French onion chicken soup is hands-down the most comforting soup you will ever eat. It’s exactly what it sounds like: a mashup of French onion soup and classic chicken soup, all in one bite.
