I know that I love it but really, it adds a lot to the soup.Bay leaves and dried thyme: These herbs really pair well with the onions and beef broth. Salt and pepper: Use these to season to taste.

Salad: Soup and salad are meant to be served together! Try serving this soup with some tomato basil salad or this wedge salad. They are easy and super delicious! Bread: This soup does have a delicious baguette already served on top but you can still add in some rolls or breadsticks on the side.Meat: This soup is a perfect starter for any meal too! I especially love it before I have some steak, chicken or pork chops. Vegetables: Try cooking up some carrots, asparagus or mashed potatoes to go along with this soup as a side. They complement each other so well!

It will last up to 3 days.Reheat: When you are ready to eat your leftovers, preheat your oven to 350 degrees. Transfer your soup into oven safe bowls.
