Hi Carol - I have two Whidbey Island connections to share ...

The best French onion soup I *ever* had was on Whidbey Island. Mmmmm! And one of my favorite cookbooks is Simply Whidbey.

I may be frozen solid Oklahoma right now, but just recalling those Whidbey memories warmed me up today!

Thanks for sharing the soup recipes.
