French Onion Soup- A variation

I made French onion soup for dinner tonight, but I remembered I had some Herbs de Provence in the cabinet and I figured, what the hell....its French soup, right? Why not add some French herbs? Herbs de Provence has oregano, lavender (the American version), rosemary, thyme and a bunch of other stuff in it. This definitely took my soup to the next level!

I added 1 tablespoon of Herbs de Provence to the onions as they cooked in the oil and then cooked the rest of the soup as usual. I usually use a smoky gouda with the soup, and it worked fine in this case, but I think the smoky-ness didn't really mesh well with the rest of the flavors. Maybe a plain gouda or even traditional Gruyère cheese. I'll try that next time. For now, get ya some herbs de provence...its just the right combo for the onions and olive oil. Hope y'all enjoy!

Happy cooking, y'all!
