Trader Joe’s Just Released A New Item That’s Making Us Go “Huh?”

There’s truly nothing better than a bowl of French onion soup to help you thaw out during the big chill of winter. The caramelized onions, melty cheese, and rich broth comforts and warms you while packing a punch of flavor. Trader Joe’s seemingly loves their French onion soup, too — however, their take on the classic meal is making us go, “What the what?”

On November 21st, Trader Joe’s introduced customers to their new French Onion Soup Bites with Caramelized Onions & Swiss Cheese. This frozen appetizer offers up a new way to eat your French onion soup with a lot less slurping.

“Encased in a pliable, doughy wrapper, each two-bite bauble offers caramelized onions and Swiss cheese, seasoned with a savory vegetable broth base,” TJ’s website reads. “It’s the ultimate in French onion-y soup flavor, without the need for a spoon.”

Basically, each bite contains all the goodness of French onion soup, yet there’s no actual soup involved. Can we still call them soup bites if there’s no soup? Sure, why not?

Each box of French Onion Soup Bites contains twelve two-bite bits — the perfect amount for your White Elephant party. These little babies are currently at your local Trader Joe’s for $4.49.

However, if you’re the type to sneer at soup-less French onion soup bites, then we challenge you to make these incredible French Onion Soup Dumplings from The Food In My Beard blog. They’re a French onion version of the classic soup dumpling and they look incredible.

And hey — we know these Trader Joe’s French Onion Soup Bites are made for serving at a get-together. But we definitely won’t judge if you buy them for your party of one.
