Hey there, young’uns! Let me tell ya, you come to the right place. You wanna know what to serve with that there French onion soup? Well, I got some ideas that’ll make your tummy rumble louder than a tractor in a cornfield!
What to Serve with French Onion Soup
That French onion soup, it’s good stuff, ain’t it? All them onions and that melty cheese on top… But you gotta have somethin’ else with it, make it a real meal, ya know?
First off, you need some bread. Yep, bread’s good with anything. Dip it right in that soup. Crusty bread is best, the kind you gotta tear apart with your hands. None of that soft, squishy stuff.
- Good Ol’ Bread: Just plain bread, toasted or not.
- Cornbread: Crumbly and sweet, oh so good.
- Crackers: Any kind, even them saltines.
But if you want somethin’ more fillin’, how about a sandwich? A grilled cheese, maybe? That cheese with the cheese in the soup… Oh boy, that’s good eatin’. Or a panini, if you’re feelin’ fancy. My grandson, he likes them fancy sandwiches.
More Food to Eat with Your Soup
Now, some folks, they like a little somethin’ green with their meals. I ain’t much for rabbit food myself, but a salad ain’t too bad. A Caesar salad, they call it. Lots of crunchy lettuce and some kinda creamy sauce. That’s a good one to start with before you get to your French onion soup.
Or maybe you want somethin’ a little different. Ever heard of a 1905 salad? Sounds fancy, right? Well, it’s got a name like that, Columbia’s Salad. It’ll make that soup of yours seem even more special. That’s what they say, anywho.
Even More Grub for That Soup!
And you know what else is good? French toast. Yep, that’s right. Sweet and savory, just like that soup. Dip it in, don’t be shy! It might sound a little strange, but trust me on this one. My granddaughter, she loves it. She’s a picky one, too.
Now, listen up. When you serve that French onion soup, you gotta put it in the right bowl. They got these special bowls, they call ’em… lion-head bowls? Somethin’ like that. They’re deep, see, so you can get lots of soup in there.
Why these bowls? Well, lemme tell ya:
- They keep the soup hot, like a hug from your grandma.
- They’re just the right size for a good helpin’ of soup.
- You can fit lots of that cheesy bread on top.
- They look real nice on the table, all fancy-like.
But if you ain’t got them fancy bowls, don’t you worry. Any bowl will do. Just make sure it’s big enough to hold all that goodness. And don’t forget the bread, the salad, or that French toast!
Fill Your Belly Right!
So there you have it. Plenty of ideas for ya. French onion soup is a treat, and now you know how to make it a real feast. Don’t be afraid to try new things. Mix and match, see what you like best.
And don’t forget to slurp your soup. It ain’t polite, but it sure does taste better that way! Just don’t do it when the Queen’s around. Unless she’s into that kinda thing. You never know with those royals.
Now go on, get cookin’! And tell your mama I said hello. Or your grandma. Or whoever does the cookin’ in your house. Food tastes better when someone else makes it, that’s for sure! Except for my French onion soup. Mine’s the best, of course. Everyone says so.
