Cheat’s Fat Free French Onion Soup is made in a fraction of the time a real French Onion Soup would take to make. But you don’t need to tell anyone do you!
It’s October so we’re well into Autumn and heading on our way to Halloween. I do love this time off year, the rustle of leaves, the golden colours, pumpkins, it’s all so warming.
Yesterday I made this Cheat’s Fat Free French Onion Soup which only uses 3 ingredients!
I had no intention of posting this and can’t actually take credit for it as it was my hubby’s idea! It tasted so good I took a couple of snaps for instagram but then thought if we enjoyed it then I’m sure you would and it’s so ridiculously easy too.
I’d bought a tub of reduced red onions for 1p so needing to use them up and wanting something warming for lunch this soup came about.
No fuss, barely any mess as I used our soup maker and so tasty from just some red onions and 2 different types of stock. We’ll be having this again as my son who is a huge fan of French Onion Soup also loved it when he tried it later!

Margot @ Coffee & Vanilla
The onion soup looks amazing Camilla!! I haven’t had one in a very long time… I really like idea of using red onions here, they are much milder and sweeter than classic white onions.
Camilla
Thanks Margot, yes the red onions allow this to be quick soup:-)
Heather Haigh

I’m feeling rather poorly today. I think this sort of soup would be just the thing I need! Yum!
Camilla
Oh no Elizabeth, yes good to keep your fluids up when you not well, get better soon!
Charlie @ The Kitchen Shed
I once followed a recipe for french onion soup and it took forever to make, I had to cook the onions for what felt like a lifetime and it had lots of other fussy ingredients. Needless to say, I never made french onion soup again. This looks like my kind of cooking though! I shall definitely have to give this a go.
Camilla
Exactly Charlie, sometimes you want some good and fast and this fits the bill:-)

Love this recipe – so quick and easy and delicious. Love French onion soup and make it in the slow cooker a lot – but this is a fab short cut
Camilla
Thanks Ema – yes it’s surprisingly good:-)
Sarah James

Camilla
