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.

So for October’s Credit Crunch Munch I’d love to see your autumnal dishes but as usual you can enter any thrifty recipes. Do share the love and visit a few of the other blogs in the linky and leave a comment with the #CreditCrunchMunch tag.

Helen and I love sharing your entries on Twitter so do tag us using #CreditCrunchMunch too. If you haven’t seen the September round-up head over to Fuss Free Flavours to see the 22 delicious entries we received!

To kick off the proceedings I am entering this Cheat’s Fat Free French Onion Soup which we had yesterday and has only 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 and 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’m feeling rather poorly today. I think this sort of soup would be just the thing I need! Yum!

    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
