French onion condensed soup

Condensed French onion soup is a culinary preparation that captures the traditional essence of classic French onion soup in a concentrated, ready-to-use version. This ingredient simplifies recipe preparation by offering an intense and deep flavor of caramelized onion, wine, and concentrated broth, ideal for enhancing dishes without the need to cook the soup from scratch.

Originating in France, onion soup has a long history as a rustic and comforting dish that combines caramelized onions, beef broth, and, traditionally, a layer of melted cheese and toasted bread on the surface. The condensed version commercializes this preparation to make it more accessible and practical for the modern kitchen.

Regarding its properties, this ingredient is rich in umami flavor and provides a sweet and salty character that can enhance stews, sauces, gratins, and other dishes. Furthermore, due to its concentration, it is used in small quantities, making it efficient and versatile.

In different Latin American countries, although it does not have a widely popularized exact synonym, it might be identified with terms such as "concentrado de sopa de cebolla" (onion soup concentrate), "mezcla para sopa de cebolla" (onion soup mix), or simply "sopa de cebolla en pasta" (onion soup paste). It is important to mention that in most Spanish-speaking markets, this product is usually found under specific brand names and not always under a well-established generic name.
