🇫🇷 France recipe

French Onion Soup

A Parisian bistro icon, French onion soup transforms ordinary yellow onions into something extraordinary through patient, prolonged caramelization. The deeply golden onions simmer in rich beef broth, are ladled into oven-proof crocks, topped with a thick crouton and a lavish blanket of Gruyere, then gratineed until bubbling and bronzed.
