French Onion Soup for a dinner party — went down extremely well

I made French Onion Soup for eight guests who had varying familiarity with the cuisine. Every single person asked for the recipe. The buttery and aromatic profile was the main talking point — no one had quite experienced thyme used that way before.

French cuisine is a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage. I explained the a countryside auberge context as I served it which helped people appreciate it fully. baguette was what I offered alongside and it worked perfectly. Excellent dinner party dish — impressive without being inaccessible.
