The Perfect Complement

by News Canada

(NC)—The origin of onion soup is rooted in two legends. The first story credits its origin with King Louis XV of France who returned late one night to his hunting lodge, and all that was on hand were onions, butter and champagne. He mixed them together and created the first French Onion Soup. Another legend states that decades ago, farmers in Les Halles, the old market place of Paris, would sip on huge mugs of boiling onion soup to keep warm while setting up for the mornings activities.

The perfect complement to any meal or by itself, this popular flavourful broth with zesty sautéed onions is topped with melted Gruyère cheese for a truly wonderful taste experience.
