French onion soup is probably the best known and loved of all French soups and is still an enduring favourite from Paris to New York. It was a must for breakfast in the cafes beside the old markets at Les Halles in Paris and is still a feature on bistro menus at Rungis market. Traditionally this soup is served in special white porcelain tureens. Serve with a glass of gutsy French vin de table.
