French Onion Soup: The Peasant Soup That Conquered Fine Dining #FrenchOnionSoup #FoodHistory
This $2 bowl of onions became the most famous soup in the world 🧅🧀
French onion soup started as peasant food in medieval France. Onions were cheap, bread was stale, and nobody cared about presentation.
Then something changed at Les Halles market in Paris…
One genius move—melting Gruyère cheese on top and blasting it under a broiler—transformed this humble dish into bistro royalty.
400 years later, restaurants charge $40 for it.

Fun fact: The workers at Les Halles market would eat this at 4 AM after unloading produce all night. They needed something hot, cheap, and filling. Little did they know they were eating future fine dining 🧅
