French Onion Soup may not technically count as a “bake,” but it is one of my favorite winter warm‑ups — and even better, it’s a true friend to quilters everywhere. This recipe comes together in the crockpot, which means more time for stitching and far less time hovering over the stove. A win all around.
Nothing hits the spot on a cold, snowy day quite like a bowl of rich, savory onion soup. As I was making a pot for dinner the other night, it struck me that this is exactly the kind of recipe worth sharing — minimal prep, just a handful of ingredients, and maximum flavor payoff.
This soup has been in my rotation for years, and I’ve tweaked it many times along the way. I used to rely on canned broth, but these days I love making it with the hearty beef bone broth my husband prepares. It adds such depth and richness that the whole pot becomes something special.
Pair it with a simple salad and you’ve got a cozy, satisfying meal that warms you right through — and leaves plenty of time to get back to your sewing machine.
If you make a batch, share a photo on Facebook with #thequiltedbakery. I’d love to see your steaming bowls of comfort.
