It’s great with mashed potatoes, egg noodles, or rice. For sides, go with a crisp green salad, roasted vegetables, or crusty bread.

What is the proper etiquette for eating French onion soup?

Traditionally, use a spoon to scoop up the broth and onions, and a knife and fork to cut through the cheesy bread topping — if served that way. For this dish, you can just dig in with a fork and let the sauce do the talking.
