Creole Onion Soup

by Kelley Wilson Filed Under: Other Info 4 Comments

When my hubby and I started dating we would get together and cook, drink wine, and hang out. I introduced hubby to The Food Network and at the time Emeril and his BAM! was the biggest thing on there. We quickly became huge fans and have at least 4 of his cookbooks. We have gone through phases with our Foodnetwork chefs, first it was Emeril, then it was Bobby Flay, now it is a mix of Guy Fieri and Ree Drummond.
 
So this is one of our favorite recipes from Emeril and we have been cooking it for over 12 years every winter. If you like French onion soup you will never eat it again after having this. French Onion is BORING in comparison. So last night we had our buds the Zakis' over for dinner. Her hubby is one of our hero's as he served in Afghanistan and then she did us a little favor by donating one of her kidneys to hubby. To say they are a selfless family is an understatement. Pete her hubby was on a drill weekend for the Navy Reserves so we swapped off some babysitting and got together for dinner. Our boys love each other and we always have a great time.Cristina's comment was I gotta have this recipe.
