French Onion Soup is a bistro classic for a reason. It’s a deeply savory and comforting soup that transforms simple onions into something truly extraordinary. The magic lies in the slow caramelization of the onions, a process that takes patience but rewards you with an incredible depth of sweet and rich flavor. The onions are simmered in a hearty beef broth, then ladled into oven-safe bowls, topped with a crusty slice of baguette, and smothered in melted, bubbly Gruyère cheese. The final broil creates a cheesy, golden-brown crust that is irresistible. It’s a perfect soup for a cold day and a truly impressive starter or main course.
