Soubise is a classic French sauce made from onions, butter, and cream, often flavored with white wine, lemon juice, and herbs such as thyme and bay leaf. It is typically served as a sauce for fish or vegetables. The name "soubise" is derived from the French city of Soubise, located in the Charente-Maritime department of western France. In Hebrew, it is known as סוביז. The sauce is a variation of the more common béchamel sauce, distinguished by the addition of onions. Soubise is a key component in French haute cuisine and is often used in traditional French dishes. The sauce is known as salsa de cebolla in Spanish, salsa di cipolla in Italian, and Zwiebelsauce in German.
