Packed with all the cozy flavors you love about french onion soup, this steak potato french onion soup is a hearty twist on the classic and total comfort food!
In other words, it’s just french onion soup on steroids, guys. Steak ‘n’ tatergoodness.
And it is a thing of BEAUTY.
It’s really just like all the basic food groups: beef, potatoes, bread, and cheese. You couldn’t ask much more of a soup.
Except for to make my serving XXXXXL and on continuous repeat.
The first step to any killer french onion soup is always gonna be those caramelized onions. The heart and soul to flavor, guys. Let your onions caramelize nice and slow for awhile.
Rich beef broth and just a little Marsala wine bring all the flavors together and you will likely be knocked on your knees over how good it’s gonna make your entire house smell.
BUT WAIT. There’s MORE. The classic french onion soup way is obviously gonna include toasted french bread + a big slice of melty Swiss cheese.
Help. It’s just so freaking good. Like literally the coziest soup I’ve made so far this year. I could eat this every night and I sure as heck tried to.
Easy enough to make for casual holiday entertaining OR total fancy-schmancy food, guys. I think we’ve got a winner winner soup dinner.

This is about the best looking French onion soup I’ve ever seen Sarah! I love that you “beefed it up” with steak and potatoes to make it extra hearty, and Marsala wine sounds like a killer addition!
