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!

3 Ingredient Cheat's Fat Free French Onion Soup - Fab Food 4 All

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!

    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.

    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.

    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
