"It feels reductive to call French onion soup a mere soup. Somehow, it doesn't quite capture the intensity of flavor that this mouthwatering recipe brings to the table. Slowly caramelized onions and rich beef broth create a depth of taste that goes beyond a standard clear broth-based soup, and some recipes dial up the strength with ingredients like vinegar, fish sauce, and wine."
"There are plenty of ways that you can make this classic dish (though we're particularly fond of our own French onion soup recipe). However, there are also ways to adapt the rich flavor combination into other dishes. Here, we've rounded up some of our favorite options, from flatbread to chicken tenders. Whether you're looking for a delicious side dish or a show-stopping main dish, make it a French onion recipe. Those flavors can't be beat."
Slowly caramelized onions and rich beef broth create deep, intense flavor that elevates French onion beyond a standard clear broth soup. Some recipes intensify umami and acidity with additions such as vinegar, fish sauce, or wine. The modern form featuring crusty bread topped with melted cheese originated in Paris in the 18th century. The French onion flavor profile adapts well across formats, lending itself to burgers with Gruyère and caramelized onions, and to crispy chicken tenders coated in French onion seasoning. Emphasizing long, slow caramelization and quality cheese and bread reproduces the soup’s characteristic savory-sweet complexity in other dishes.
