French Onion Soup has been a staple of the French diet since before the revolution. Its origins lie in the French countryside, like other onion soup recipes, where its simple, inexpensive ingredients made it hugely popular. As with a great many classical French dishes, it is this simplicity that exemplifies the sheer magnificence, of what must be described as simply one of the best soups the world has to offer.

The combinations of flavours at work in the soup are some of the most traditional French ingredients we can imagine; garlic, onions, red wine, all summon the image of the traditional French countryside, and an easier, relaxed way of life. It is these flavours that mingle with the beef to give us that quintessential taste of the continent, that is French Onion Soup, its taste unmistakable and irreplaceable, there is no substitute for this, the very best of soups.
