 I am excited to pair up today with Litehouse, Inc. and Simply Artisan Reserve to bring you this cheese inspired classic with twist. All opinions expressed are my own.

I love making soup in my slow cooker, and one of my favorite soups to order when dining out is French Onion. I knew I needed to make a version that I loved just as much at home.

During the holiday season, cheese seems to be the star at all of our parties and get-togethers, from cheese and meat trays, to fondues and salads. Cheese is found on our table at all times. I was inspired by Simply Artisan Reserve™ Simple Seasons™ Blue Cheese to add this on top of my French Onion Soup. These Simple Seasons cheeses are so fresh and easy to add to any dish with just a shake. As blue cheese can be a little potent, I love the ease with which Simple Seasons makes it to add my favorite cheese to any dish.

While the soup isn’t the only thing I love to add cheese as a topper, it is one of my favorites. A close second would be a salad, and Simple Seasons Feta is a perfect way to spruce up your holiday salad. I love being inspired while I cook and using products that make it easy as well.
