French Onion Soup

Once known as the “Soup of Peasants” is now an important part of French cuisine, though this soup is of ancient origin, it only got popularized in the 1960s in the US. Traditional French onion soup is a clear soup and in the old days it was made with grated cheese, old scraps of bread, salt, pepper, water, vinegar or wine and the most important ingredient onions, which was plentiful and always available. Later on the water was replaced with beef stock or broth making the soup rich and heavy. The main secret of this soup is slow cooked caramelized onion, which can take up to 8 to 10 hours to prepare and aged Gruyère cheese which gives the soup its rich bubbling crust.
