Recipe View Serve hot, garnished with croutons or a sprinkle of extra cheese, if desired. Enjoy!

For a deeper flavor, consider caramelizing the onions in a separate pan with a little butter before adding them to the broth.
If you don't have Colby-Monterey Jack cheese, a blend of cheddar and Monterey Jack or even a sharp cheddar would work well.
A splash of Worcestershire sauce can add a nice umami depth to the soup.
For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable bouillon for the beef bouillon.
Leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently over low heat, stirring occasionally.

    I used vegetable broth instead of beef, and it was still delicious. A great vegetarian option!

  • Cassie Kulas

    I thinned it out a bit more than the recipe suggested, but that's just personal preference. Otherwise, perfect!

  • Letitia Hammesmedhurst

    I caramelized the onions beforehand, and it made a HUGE difference. Definitely worth the extra step!
