French onion soup

Can’t decide if I like this photo or not. Winter is winding up here in Massachusetts, and I hadn’t made French onion soup yet, so I figured I needed to do that. Our daughter was home for Spring Break last week, so we made dinner a couple of times. French onion soup is one of the lowest-efffort meals I can think of, but is always very satisfying and delicious. A friend asked me if I used brandy or stout in my soup. If I have brandy on hand, I’ll use that, but have never actually tried making it with stout. I would think it would add too much bitterness. I didn’t have any brandy last week, so used some leftover red wine, which was entirely suitable.
