Featuring Market Cupboard® French Onion Soup Starter. This super-savory dish draws its inspiration from Taiwanese cuisine. Market Cupboard’s rich French Onion Soup Starter showcases the traditional flavors of slow-simmered beef broth with onions, and we add the convenience of instant rice and frozen, prepared meatballs for a uniquely delicious soup that gets dinner on the table in a snap! In my opinion, soups are one of the greatest inventions of all time – where else can you blend a variety of textures and flavors in a one-pot meal that’s easy to make and easy to customize? Pure genius!
