The Lure of French Onion Soup
<p>I once read a legend that onion soup was probably “invented” by Louis the XV and promptly spit up my morning coffee laughing. In this histoire, Louis was out hunting with the boys when they returned to the hunting lodge and found nothing but a couple onions and a bottle of Champagne in the cupboards. What is a poor monarch suppose to do but improvise when confronted with such bare necessities? Laughable at best.</p>
<p>In truth, a version of onion soup has been simmering on stovetops in peasant homes since the dawn of time. A recipe that has much more to do with economy and efficiency, than royal snacks for hunting parties. Nowadays it seems we have this crazy obsession to want to claim everything as the original recipe like somehow it is scientifically traceable to a single, exact defining moment of the onion soup genesis.</p>
