Origin Story: The Lay’s Flavor Department decided to pay homage to the legendary soupe à l’oignon as a nod to the French team during the FIFA 2026 World Cup. This flavor captures the deep, caramelized sweetness of slow-cooked onions and the savory depth of a classic beef broth. It’s a culinary bridge between American snacking and a beloved French bistro staple.
