It’s another video day!!
Are you happy?!? I’m happy, but slightly sad because this is the last video for a couple of weeks. My number one video guy is off at school doing the whole college thing. We filmed all the previous videos that have been on the site this month, the week before Kai left for LA…it was craziness. Videos are so much work and so hard, at least for me. Like so, so, SO hard, but I have absolutely loved making them for you guys, and am excited to film a whole bunch more when Kai comes home for Thanksgiving break…meaning there will be videos in December!
Perfect cause you know, that’s my very favorite month of the year! I am pumped!
And clearly my excitement for the holidays is already through the roof. Don’t hate me, just love me for my enthusiasm…it doesn’t come out all that much, so take it while you can! 🙂
So today’s recipe and video are this pretty soup! I mean, it’s crockpot french onion soup! It really doesn’t get too much easier, as you will see in the video!
SIDE NOTE: the brother (Malachi/Kai) and I are having a hard time finding music for these videos. Any video pros out there who have suggestions?? They would be so, very much appreciated!
I feel like simple and easy and no fuss is really welcomed on a Monday. I mean, I get it. Monday is the worst, but I also feel like we can make it the best it can be with this soup. Yes, we can!!
Hello, cheesy french toast?
So I know all french onion soup has cheese melted over toast, but my toast is special because it’s actually french toast. Like egg dipped french bread fried in a skillet with butter and parmesan cheese.
Then the bread gets placed on top of the french onion soup and basically covered in Gruyère cheese. Oh yeah, I so went there… and I have no regrets. I am only giving us what our bodies are craving…cause you know I heard the rest of you guys are finally getting some cold weather too!
Anyone with any snow on the ground?!?
Basically, I have been consumed by cozy thoughts. I want all things cozy. Cozy clothes, cozy boots, cozy foods, cozy hats, cozy fires, oh and cozy candles! I love candles. I think my favorites are all the Fall Yankee Candles and then of course the Christmas Sugar Cookie Candles…which I do believe that everyone should have!
I actually really need to replenish my candle stock, does anyone have any new good fall candles I should try? Maybe even some early Christmas candles?? Please, let me know!
Ok, sorry, back to the soup. My mind is all over the place here! Monday – ugh, that’s just how it goes.
So I obviously I say all this in the video, but I kind of adore this Crockpot French Onion Soup, and using the crockpot method is such an awesome way to make it. I don’t know about you guys but sometimes the thought of standing over the stove and babysitting onions for 45 minutes sounds a little daunting. Letting the onions slow cook in my crockpot overnight just seems like the way to go. I swear, the crockpot does an AMAZING job of caramelizing those onions. All you have to do is throw them in and turn it on. Done and done.
I also used a pumpkin beer for my soup because I ran out of red wine…oopsies (better re-stock before the cousins show up for the holidays…cough, cough, Abby….cough, cough, Marge). I personally love the beer in this soup though, and I typically use it in place of wine when making french onion soup. If you think you’d prefer wine, go ahead and use wine, no biggie.
And then pour yourself a glass and wait for dinner to be ready. Mondays, they don’t always have to be brutal. Cheese, caramelized onions and a little booze – sounds pretty good!
And with that, I am out. Happy video watching, let me know what you think! 🙂

Did you see the cheese at the end though?!?! I mean, what?!? Wow, the BEST!
Another great video!!! This soup looks amazing!! Love the crockpot idea of caramelizing the onions! Pumpkin beer? Gotta look for that the next time I’m at the store!
So I went to elementary/middle school with the inventor of Yankee Candle’s son, who has now started his own candle company “Kringle Candle.” Look it up- the candles are even better than Yankee! Also, Illume Candle makes the BEST pumpkin scented candle I’ve ever smelled!
Savory french toast has been on my list for a while, looks so good!
You are amazing…compliments from Italy!
You are so adorable i love your video this recipe looks amazing xxx
hehe! Thank you, amiee! Hope all is well with you! XO
Looks delicious food but I can’t able to see the video clips, never the less images are so attractive.
Thank you!! The video is there now, sorry about that!
French onion soup may be my favorite soup of all time!! Caramelized onions are soooo good 😀
Need a song? How about “Burning Down The House” by The Talking Heads. Every picture looks like things are burnt.
This looks crazy good!

Oooooo this sounds delish 🙂 Love all that cheese 🙂
🙁 no video clip, my side….or is it my computer?
SORRY!! Video is up now! 🙂
No problem Tieghan, …it happens :-). (I really thought it could have been my computer as it’s really playing up these days and I am ready to toss it out the window !) Just glad I got to see the video, its great, thank you
This soup looks great and I love that you went there with the french toast and all that cheesiness! Yummers!
i love your stretchy cheese pictures!! and the idea of caramelizing onions overnight in the slow cooker sounds amazing- then they can truly get brown instead of me prodding them every minute.
All that cheese on top? I’m wriggling my butt like my 2 dachshunds rights now. Holy cow. I can’t wait to eat this! Best French Onion Soup ever.
Where’s the video?
Looks absolutely delish! But- I can’t find the video link?! It truly is a Monday, as it’s probably glaringly obvious!
SORRY! It was my fault, I forgot to add the video! It is there now! 🙂
