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!

I have never been a fan of French onion soup. It is too wish washy for me. My husband loves it though.
Camilla
I was the same as you Charlotte but never found it wishy washy just too beefy and intense but this was just really nice, I think the red onions made a big difference.

I hate onion but this soup sure does look good!
Camilla
That’s a shame, I can’t imagine cutting onion of of my diet!

Onion soup isn’t one I’d usually choose, but it’s so simple to make, it’s a bit of a nobrainer really.
Camilla
Me neither, I’ve never like it but hubby’s idea has turned me:-)
