This recipe from Bon Appetit had been calling my name.

Comfort food is the best, isn’t it?

Look, I know this sounds insanely weird, but queen of the internet Chrissy Teigen is onto something with her split pea soup with crispy hot dogs recipe.

Full disclosure: My photos of this soup were SO ugly, but this is honestly *very* close to what it will look like! First of all, here’s that recipe: French onion beef noodle soup from Bon AppetitAnd the description from the website: “This super-savory dish draws its inspiration from Taiwanese beef noodle soup, then gilds the lily with a Dutch oven’s worth of sweet, slow-simmered onions—the best part of French onion soup, if you ask this recipe’s developer, Amiel Stanek. Yes yes yes, YES this was a win. ), but I did take the noodles and beef out of the broth, and I cut it up more like a chow mein-type situation. I can’t tell if this is crazy, but next time, I’d consider just making the broth.
