French Soups Recipes

There is a myriad of easy soup recipes from France like consommé or clear soups which start with a good stock, while others are thick and full of meat, beans, and vegetables. They can be thickened by the ingredients themselves, or potatoes are added as in Watercress Soup. For a rich creamy soup, cream is used in this Potato Soup, or an egg yolk may be added for thickening as in this Easy Garlic Soup recipe.

Most soups are excellent as an appetizer or eaten as a meal in themselves with some fresh crusty bread or a sandwich, either way it's "slurpin' good"!

This Website is AMAZING! I was raised by my stepmother, who was born in France and grew up eating this food! Every Sunday, we would go to her mother's house and eat. I have been trying to recreate these recipes on my own and have failed miserably. THANK YOU for having these recipes for use! They are FANTASTIC!
