I have been making this Creamy Onion Soup for years and I still love it. I love French Onion soup but a good creamy soup just makes me super happy.
Soup Tips:
- The onions really cook down in this soup. The larger chunks you cut your onions the more you will taste and see them once the soup is done. If you prefer just the onion flavor but not the texture you can cut your onions into smaller pieces.
- To thicken this soup flour is used. Sift the flour in slowly and stir continuously and carefully. Don’t use a whisk as that will really tear those fragile onion chunks up.
- All cheeses are good in this soup, so don’t feel like you only have to use the cheeses I use in the recipe below!

Creamy Onion Soup
I think soups are such an easy meal because they can stand alone or simply served with a sandwich. I love to serve this soup with a roast beef sandwich on sliced french bread I grab in the bakery section of the grocery store.
