Paris
French onion soup goes back to the seventeenth century as an all time favorite. Legend has it that King Louis XV had his own recipe and found new ways to spice it up to make it his own. Onions are considered ‘food for the poor’ since they can be found fairly cheap and are known for their restorative powers. They happen to have a long shelf life and can make the wonderful soup. It only takes a few simple ingredients and steps to craft the perfect recipe. French onion soup is created by using simple, household ingredients. Start off by frying up your fresh onions in butter or olive oil. Once they are cooked to a crisp you may add them to some meaty broth and your choice of champagne or red wine. Add spices to give the soup some kick and a little extra flavor. Customers wait to see their soup leave the kitchen with a nice slice of French bread on the side. To finish off the soup, add some oozing gruyere cheese until crisp and brown. It is presented in a small, rounded bowl with the soup spilling over the sides. Its meaty broth is brown and translucent and gets poured over the bread. This food can be found all over Europe because of its great taste and simple recipe. Since it comes from France itself I would recommend trying this dish where it’s most famous, France. This soup has so many different flavors and can be enjoyed by all soup lovers in Europe. Make sure you try the bursting, cheesy soup so you can get a taste of France.
