French Onion Soup
Given the weather out, my mind turned to my favorite soup, French Onion. Any suggestions for the best restaurant at which to order French Onion soup in the greater San Diego area? Price not an issue--authentic, deep rich stock, etc. Thanks!!

WHAT IS up with this? My husband came home last night and made amazing FOS for dinner. And yes, with cognac, crouton, cheese et al. Homemade broth. . .

On a slightly unrelated note, on Sunday I made genovese sauce, a Neapolitan ragu made from meat (chuck roast), wine, and onions. The results were like a cross between pot roast and french onion soup (minus the broth). Toss with some penne, some pecorino, and some pepper, and you have a really good meal.

I really think Loic makes the best French onion soup. If you look at a map, it's kind of in the center of San Diego County...

Fantastic, thanks for asking. I kicked myself that I don't think to make it more often! cstr is right about the cognac, I also use a bit of jarred, prepared demi-glace.

It's been awhile but the Bo-Beau Kitchen and Bar in OB has a lovely French Onion soup and other bistro items...really like this place.
Dobson's in the Gaslamp has the best damn mussel bisque en croute on the planet..›1 Reply
