Traditional french #onionsoup! There are many legends about the origin of the soup, one says that it was first prepared by the king of France Louis XV ... when one day, at night, the king wanted to eat, went down to the kitchen in his hunting lodge and found nothing but onions, a piece of butter and champagne. He mixed all the ingredients together, boiled, so it turned out the first French onion soup. According to another version, Stanislav Leschinsky, the Duke of Lorraine and the former king of Poland, on his way to Versailles to visit his daughter, wife of Louis XV., Stayed in a hotel in the city of Chalon-en-Champagne. In the evening, the local chef served him onion soup, which he found so tender, warming, creating comfort that he did not want to continue his journey without learning how to cook it himself! He went down to the kitchen and insisted that the chef work before his eyes. Neither smoke, nor the smell of onions, could distract her attention, he looked and wrote down everything. And this chef, Nicholas Uppert, later dedicated this soup to the duke, giving him the name “Stanislav’s onion soup“ and describing it in his book dated from 1831!
