How to choose the perfect bowl to achieve the best French Onion Soup experience

Most consumers don’t  have the proper bowl to enjoy our French Onion Soup. The bowl they choose is often too large which causes the cheese to become mixed within the broth. As a result, the size of your bowl actually prevents you from having the best French Onion Soup experience with a layer of cheese melted slowly on the surface of the soup.

Three Layers of French Onion Soup Perfection

A rich, full-bodied blend of slowly simmered fresh onions, real Swiss cheese, croutons and a seasoned broth, our extraordinary French Onion Soup allows you to indulge in an authentic, appetizing restaurant experience right in the comfort of your own home. The secret is in how we make it. Our unique manufacturing process allows us to form three distinctive layers within our soup when it’s frozen: the cheese on top, the croutons in the middle and the broth at the bottom.

When you cook the soup, the cheese is designed to slowly melt and blanket the surface of the broth and croutons with a layer of golden goodness. It’s the classic look and taste you’d expect to find in a traditional French bistro.

The Right Bowl for the Perfect French Onion Soup

To achieve this restaurant experience, you must choose the correct size of bowl, one that will allow the cheese to cover the top of the soup. We recommend using an oven-proof bowl with a 10 oz capacity and a diameter of 4 inches. These dimensions might be smaller than you’d expect, but they let the cheese melt gradually across the top of the bowl from edge to edge.

If you choose a bowl that is too large, the cheese won’t cover the soup and will even get lost in the broth. Having trouble finding the perfect bowl? Let us know and we’ll be happy to help you find the right bowl for your French Onion Soup.

We recommend heating our French Onion Soup in a conventional oven which lets the soup to cook slowly and the cheese to melt gradually. The result: a great-tasting, great-looking restaurant experience. Keep in mind that if you do decide to cook your soup in a microwave oven, the cheese will become mixed in the soup.
