As the winter chill sets in, people around the world turn to a big bowl of soup for a warm hug. And if there’s one culinary delight that could put your heart at ease, calm you down, eliminate the worries of the day and awaken and refine the appetite – it’s a bowl of the Classic French Onion Soup. Its gastronomic roots are in the broths of Ancient Rome, prepared for the first time over 8,000 years ago. The recipe served up in restaurants across Paris – and in the kitchens of lovers of French cuisine everywhere – took shape in the 18th century. Probably one of the most flavorful soups in the world, you would be surprised to know that it is made with only 4 core ingredients (butter, onions, flour, and stock/broth). The magic is in the caramelization of the onions, cooked slowly for at least 40 minutes until reaching the ideal sweet flavor necessary for this broth-like soup. And of course the crowning glory – traditional topping with French bread and gruyere cheese and then broiled to perfection. The French Onion Soup is perfect for dinner parties or romantic evenings and is sure to bring a big smile to the faces of your guests.
