Using Sugar in French Onion Soup
If you were wondering why something as savory as French onion soup would call for sugar to be added, the answer is that it brings out the sweetness of the onions. Some people like to add sugar to the onions as they caramelize, to draw out their natural sweetness. Whether you are making a Disney recipe French onion soup or a classic French onion soup, adding sugar is largely a matter of taste.
Sweet Onion Soup and Savory Onion Soup
Some people would never add sugar to a French onion soup recipe, even if they were making a Disney recipe French onion soup, which called for it. Some pumpkin soup recipes call for sugar, as do some ethnic recipes. Palm sugar is popular in Asian curries, for example. If you do not like any sweetness in your savory recipes, feel free to make French onion soup without the sugar. It will be just as flavorful. Adding extra sweetness improves the recipe for some but not everyone likes it.
