French onion soup
A savory onion soup topped with bread and melted cheese (Soupe à l’oignon).
Say it: soop ah loh-NYON (approximate English pronunciation)
French onion soup develops flavor from slowly cooked onions in savory broth. Bread and melted cheese often form a browned top. The stock, cheese and serving style differ between kitchens. Despite its vegetable name, the soup is frequently made with beef stock, so check the preparation if that matters to you.
