Why Is It Called French Onion Soup?

The classic French onion soup gets its name from its country of origin: France. After making its debut in the 18th century, it has become a national treasure.

During ancient times (and still today), onions were cheap and easy to grow, and hence, readily available. For the poor, the onion was a savior, with onion soups being popular during the Roman times. 

In fact, a version of the recipe first appeared in Taillevent’s 14th-century cookbook, Viandier. It described thinly-sliced onions cooked in butter and then topped with a pea puree and water or verjus (liquid derived from pressed unripe green grapes that grow in vineyards before being used to make wine).

Later, it was also discovered that the soup masked the smell of alcohol from drinking the night before, thanks to the use of Comté or Gruyère cheeses, which have a strong aroma. French households would use the soup as a hangover cure as well. 

The Two Theories about Its Origin:

According to one theory about the history of French onion soup, the invention goes back to the 17th century. It is said that it was invented by none other than King Louis XV late one night at his hunting lodge when he was very hungry. When he only found onions, butter, and champagne in the pantry, he decided to use the three ingredients to make the French onion soup for the very first time.

Another theory says that it was Stanislas Leszczynski, Duke of Lorraine and father of the Queen of France, who tasted the onion soup in a Champagne inn. He thought it was not only delicious but also filling. He then decided to learn to prepare a similar soup. He went on to popularize the recipe at the Palace of Versailles.
