Hey foodies! Today, we’re making the coziest, most comforting soup ever—Mushroom & Caramelized Onion Soup!

And guess what? We’re leveling it up with cheesy toasties AND crispy bacon. Like, seriously, how can you say no to that?! Let’s get cooking!

What You’ll Need

For the Soup:

2 tablespoons butter
2 large onions, thinly sliced
3 cups mushrooms, sliced (button, cremini, or whatever you love!)
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 cups chicken or veggie broth
1 teaspoon thyme (fresh or dried)
1/2 cup heavy cream
Salt and pepper to taste

For the Toasties:

4 slices of bread (sourdough or whatever’s in your pantry)
1 cup shredded cheese (cheddar, Gruyère, or a mix—go wild!)
Butter for spreading

For the Bacon:

4 slices of bacon (crispy is key!)

How to Make It

Step 1: Caramelize the Onions

Heat the butter in a big ol’ pot over medium heat.
Toss in the onions and cook low and slow for like 20 minutes until they’re golden and sweet. Stir them so they don’t stick or burn.

Step 2: Cook the Mushrooms

Add the mushrooms to the pot with the onions.
Cook until they’re soft and kinda golden—this takes about 8 minutes. Toss in the garlic and thyme, and cook for 1 more minute

Step 3: Make the Soup

Pour in the broth and let everything simmer for 10 minutes so the flavors do their thing.
Stir in the cream, season with salt and pepper, and BOOM! Soup’s ready.

Step 4: Toastie Time!

Spread butter on one side of each slice of bread.
Pile the cheese on the non-buttered side, sandwich it together, and cook in a skillet until the bread is golden and the cheese is melty.

Step 5: Bacon, Baby

Fry up the bacon in a pan or bake it in the oven until it’s crispy perfection.
Crumble or leave it whole—it’s up to you!

Step 6: Put It All Together

Pour your soup into bowls.
Add cheesy toasties on the side and sprinkle bacon on top (or dip it in—no judgment!).
