French Soup and Sandwich

A Parisian bistro lunch: a golden, bubbling Croque Monsieur alongside a silky, satisfying split pea soup.

  • Golden-brown croque monsieur sandwiches with bubbling Gruyère on a wooden board

    Lunch

    Croque Monsieur

    The ultimate French bistro sandwich — ham and Gruyère on brioche, blanketed in a golden béchamel and broiled until bubbling.

  • A bowl of thick, green split pea soup garnished with crumbled bacon and a drizzle of olive oil

    Lunch

    Split Pea Soup

    A hearty, smoky split pea soup made with bacon or ham hock — the secret is blending half the peas for a creamy base while leaving the other half intact for texture.
