What Main courses go well with french onion soup?

Answer 1

The best thing to serve with French Onion Soup is a simple tossed salad (any type you like),or blanched green beans sprinkled with almond slivers, beef medalions/beef tenderloin steaks, and roasted small potatos. This meal is actually very simple. Make the soup, put aside. Make any salad you like and put aside. Put small potatos, either red, white or a mixture in oven (cut in half and sprinkled with Mrs.Dash seasoning) for 30 mins, after removing potatos to cool, fry or bbq beef (depending on season) for 3 mins per side, sprinkled with simple salt and pepper and a dash of red wine (optional). A gorgous meal fit for a king, and very very simple. Serve with a small side dish of sour cream to eat with both the meat and/or potatos, or any dipping sauce you enjoy with beef. But any chicken dish would pair well with the soup, or duck, or really any meat. If serving this soup, I think beef pairs well due to the beef stock you would use to make the soup, but honestly it is so light and tasty that it really goes with anything. I've served it before a chicken Caesar salad and everyone was happy. You really can't go wrong . . . unless you attempt to serve it with spagetti and that really isn't cool!

I agree with most of the above, but think it goes better with a hearty beef dish. I like it with beef tips and flat noodles, sauced with a rich brown sauce or tenderloin with a bearnaise sauce and gratin potatoes on the side. Bon Appetit!
