Classic french onion soup is a warm, hearty soup that can easily be a full meal. Paired with the right side dish, a hot bowl of french onion soup can make a delicious dinner the whole family will love.
It consists of simple ingredients but packs a ton of flavor. The perfect caramelized onions are stewed with beef broth and then topped with sliced baguette pieces and melty cheese.
My favorite french onion soup recipe is made all in a dutch oven with cheesy garlic croutons baked right on top. The best thing about this recipe is that it is great for a large group.

🥗 Salads to serve with french onion soup
The best way to accompany a hearty meal like french onion soup is with a lighter side like salad. This could be as simple as an arugula salad dressed with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. A green salad with red onions, red wine vinegar and a bit of olive oil would also be fantastic.
Good news! I have compiled a list of my favorite salad recipes that are a great option to pair with this delectable soup for a dinner party or even a weeknight meal.
