History & Origin
Onion soups have been cooked in France for centuries, but the gratinéed version became strongly associated with Parisian restaurants and the market district of Les Halles. Slow caramelisation, a deeply savoury broth and a toasted cheese lid turn inexpensive onions and bread into a substantial meal.
