Did you know that the base of French Onion Soup is...beef broth? Yes? Am I literally the only person on that planet that did not know this? Yes?
As an occasional vegetarian (and constant red-meat-free-etarian), during the fall months I often find myself ordering this cheesy, brothy, wonderful soup at restaurants. "No hamburger for me, thank you. You see. I don't eat red meat. I'll be having the French Onion Soup."
Yep. That was me.
Until earlier this week when I decided to whip up this up at home. Recipe after recipe after recipe was calling for beef stock. What the what?? Shame befell upon me.
So much for "Beef-Free Since 2003."
Might as well celebrate with a hamburger.
