Soubise is a noun referring to a sauce based on onions, or more broadly to a dish associated with French cuisine; in historical contexts it often denotes a puréed onion sauce or onion-based preparation. The term also appears in music and culinary history as a proper noun for styles or venues linked to the 18th-century French kitchen and aristocratic dining.
