There’s nothing more comforting than a warm, hearty bowl of soup. Not just any soup will do, though—this rich and savory soup happens to be extra special. It’s made with a brothy base of flavorful beef and chicken stocks and wine, and it’s chock-full of a medley of onions, garlic, and spices. The best part? All you have to do is heat it up and dig right in! One slurp will have you bowled over. Nutrition values are representative of a 1/2 container serving.

Produced in a facility that processes eggs, milk, fish, peanuts, sesame, shellfish, soy, tree nuts, and wheat.

I love French onion soup and this flavor was very good. However, it didn't beat the additional baked cheese and homemade croutons from the oven textures.

Almost as good as best restaurant. Put some crunch bread in the bottom of the bowl, grated cheese on top - YUM! Needed just a bit more beefy flavor, but still 4 stars.

This is just OK. I thought there should be more onions in the soup. It did give 2 servings.

Little tricky with the bag, but okay and amazingly good without the version with bread and cheese on top,
