French Onion Soup Dumplings

Celia Sin-Tien Cheng

I ordered a bunch of dishes at the Stanton Social to sample, including the recommended French onion soup dumplings, and was pleasantly surprised by how good the food was. I mean, I came here to drink, not to eat, but the food at The Stanton Social is better than a lot of restaurants where I go specifically to eat. The French onion soup dumplings are severed in an escargot platter, in which six little puff-looking “dumplings” sit. The French onion soup is enveloped by cheese-covered bread balls and it’s yummy. I love the fact that they are bite-sized. The idea is rather ingenious and made me wonder why no one thought of that before? The Chinese have Shanghainese soup-dumplings, but to do this with French onion soup is rather brilliant.
