Good morning everyone!  Hope you all are having a great day so far.  Right now I’m munching on some cantaloupe - you know how I love cantaloupe!  In a little bit I’m probably also going to have an omelette as well as a glass of milk…and maybe a piece of toast with butter.  Sounds good.
Oh, as well as last night was exciting because I actually cooked!  I made French Onion Soup!  It turned out okay, but needed a bit more flavor. 
I made a few changes to the recipe I used, including omitting the thyme since it said a 1/2 teaspoon of fresh thyme, as well as I only had dried.  I tried to see how much dried thyme I should utilize instead but could only find recipes using fresh sprigs of thyme, not teaspoons.  I decided to just omit the thyme because of the fact that I didn’t desire to put too much in and have it overpower everything as well as ruin the soup.   But I think that maybe it was a typo as well as it actually did really mean to utilize dried thyme, not fresh, which I’ll endeavour next time. 
Also, I used whole wheat bread instead of white bread to manufacture it a little healthier, but it turned out that it added a very sweet flavor - it tasted like the bread was made of honey!  I looked at the ingredients list on behalf of the bread as well as it said that it contained molasses, which is probably what made everything taste so sweet.  Next time I’ll just utilize white bread or manufacture sure that the bread I utilize doesn’t contain molasses or honey.
The good thing about this soup was that I used reduced sodium broth.  When I tasted the soup, it really did not taste salty at all!  Fabulous!
I would manufacture this soup again since it was so easy to make, but I’m definitely going to endeavour tweaking the recipe a little bit more next time.  We’ll see how it goes.
