Onion Soup Calms Our Family
When it’s been a crazy day and everyone is wound up, my “go-to” recipe is onion soup. Nothing works for everyone, but this is a great, easy recipe that works for our family.
When you have four children and a busy lifestyle (which pretty much sums up most of us!), it is the simple things in life that are helpful. However, being a parent and really caring about the food I put into my loved ones requires some thought.
Nutritional Therapy is in my bones, but getting the certification is certainly helpful for credibility. It is empowering to understand the value of your body. (Here is the link, if you are interested in taking the course!)
One day I was able to step back and see how everyone was wound up and I could get caught up in the banter. It is at this moment I realize talking about knowledge doesn’t help improve the “crazy” in my home. Knowing comfort food is a real thing; the mission is to find the easiest solution and put it into action to calm the crazy. Somehow we found that Onion Soup is one of our meals that helps to calm our family. Fortunately, this elixir soup is simple to make, but it’s not in my cookbook so I’ll add it here for you. Hope you enjoy this recipe too.
