French onion soup
Caramelized allium bisque
French onion soup is a rich, savory soup made from caramelized onions simmered in beef broth, traditionally served in a crock topped with a slice of bread and a thick layer of melted Gruyère or similar cheese.
The dish is French in origin and has become a bistro and steakhouse staple.
The slow-cooked onions give the broth its characteristic sweetness and depth.
We started with French onion soup and a Caesar salad.
