Notes

Homemade French Onion Soup can be made quite inexpensively if using homegrown onions and home-canned beef broth. An added bonus is that the home-canned broth is likely much more healthy than store-bought. 
This soup is as good as the ingredients that are used. A well-seasoned broth makes a difference for sure. 
This soup may be made ahead and even frozen or canned to use later. 
Refer to the video tutorial for more tips and instructions.
