Today’s recipe is doing double duty!
Today is this month’s Fantastical Food Fight, a themed group
hosted by Sarah at a Fantastical Sharing of Recipes, where participants all
cook up variations of a recipe type. In
the past we’ve done Deviled Eggs and Shortbread. This month is all about the Slow Cooker Soups!
I’m also submitting this recipe to this month’s Food &Flix! In Food ‘n Flix, participants
watch the selected movie and then whip up something delicious inspired by the
film. This month’s flick is a rom-com,
French Kiss, hosted by Heather, the founder of Food ‘n Flix!
It was fun to rewatch this movie with my foodie goggles
on! I’d seen it once, years ago and
really enjoyed the movie, so I was excited to watch it again (Hubs was excited
too! His mom loves this movie, so he’s
seen the movie a bunch of times too!)
There was surprisingly less food in the movie than I expected
(or maybe we just missed it?) There were
mentions of pizza, plenty of wine, cheeses (*snerk* lactose intolerance!!), and a large dessert tray. I almost went with some sort of crostini with
cheese.
But then I was already planning to make my French Onion soup
for Slow Cooker Soups and decided it was meant to be!
I’m not usually a slow cooker soup sort of person. I usually make slow cooker roasts (maybe I’m
stuck in a rut). Anyhow, it was finally
time to break the mold!
