What a delicious way to ring in the New Year on a rainy, cold Eve! I am so amazed at the tasty results of so few ingredients! I absolutely love this recipe and will make it over and over.
Love the simplicity of this recipe. It’s delicious, by the way! I have made it several times. I went and checked my 1961 copy of Larousse Gastronomique. It also has a recipe for onion soup gratinee that includes grated cheese and butter to top it off. Interesting that your 1989 version reverted to the 1939 version and omitted the cheese.
Love the history and tradition. Will be sharing a recipe for Italian onion soup (not unlike your pared down version here) in my next newsletter. Great minds and all...Buon anno nuovo! xo
Love reading the backstory/history of one of my favorite soups. Will try adding more water and less vegetable stock to experience this soup in a new way. Thanks, Jamie.
I just made a half recipe, which resulted in my husband and I happily fighting over the last bits. It was so good! Followed the recipe otherwise, with gruyere, comte, and a few blue cheese crumbles on top.
This was so perfect-- good for people with NYE hangovers and not! I added a little veg bouillon for a bit of color, but that's it. Such rich flavor and good for the stomach and soul!
This is the perfect soup, and now I know its history! Making it this weekend. Thank you
Yay, Life IS a Feast! Thank you for this lovely and simple onion soup recipe. Guess what we'll be having tomorrow!
My favorite French onion soup recipe is Vincent Prices…but, I’m going to try this, it looks absolutely amazing! 😃

Yes! Perfect for my Stay-In on New Year’s Eve. I’ll just top it off with a French 75 cocktail.
Beautiful. I made your soup last year and just got back from the grocery to restock my onions. It's a fabulous, simple soup with great flavors.

I'm enjoying reading the history of these traditional French dishes. Merci Jamie
