"As for confusion over French onion soup, I think GM is simply thinking
--rightly-- of the kind of onion soup you get in France where there is
no need to explain that it is "French" onion soup; it's simply onion
soup), made generally from a white beef consomme, and often topped with
a crouton on which a cheese like Parmigiano-Reggiano or Gruyere has been
melted/gratineed. But what Americans call "French Onion Soup" is an
American variation, generally done with brown stock and sometimes
darkened further by partially caramelizing the onions; the whole
toast-and-cheese presentation is somewhat different from European
counterparts."

Yes, but either way is tasty!
