Onion soup with cheese

Onion soup with cheese is a classic of French cuisine, with roots deep in history. It was once made by the poor since onions were accessible to everyone. Over time, this recipe became a symbol of cozy and refined dining. The thick, aromatic broth filled with caramelized onions melting under a delicate layer of melted cheese offers a rich taste and warms the soul. Croutons absorbing the fragrant broth add a crunchy texture, creating a harmony of sensations. This soup is perfect for cool evenings when one wants to immerse in the atmosphere of a Parisian bistro. It is enjoyed as a standalone dish, savoring every sip. The French believe this soup can even heal – as it is simple, hearty, and incredibly cozy.
