Onion Soup Recipe

EASY ONION SOUP

Onion soup is a recipe for typically French cuisine. It is quite easy to make and, like everything that the French usually do in this kitchen, it is very tasty. They play with the sweetness of the onion mixed with the flavors of the gratin cheese and with a good homemade broth. Let's make this delicious onion soup

INGREDIENTS FOR 6 PEOPLE:

•  2 medium onions The sweeter they are, the better.
•  1'5l liter of broth. It can be meat or vegetables
•  Grated cheese. The original is the Grüyere but you can use any, to your liking
•  1 tablespoon butter
• 1 glass of white wine
•  6 slices of bread of one or two days
•  2 tablespoons wheat flour
• Salt and pepper
•  Olive oil

HOW TO MAKE EASY ONION SOUP:

1.- Peel and cut the onion into thin strips. Then in a pan, we squirt oil and butter. Heat over low heat, until the butter melts and it is integrated into the oil. Once done add the onion, season and let cook, stirring occasionally about 10 minutes. Until it is limp

2.- Now we add the flour and stir it while it is cooking, to eliminate its raw flavor. This flour will give a bit of body to the onion soup. Let cook 3 minutes and then add the white wine. Let cook 2 more minutes to evaporate the alcohol

3.- We add the hot broth. We remove for two minutes to eliminate possible lumps and let cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes more. Do not raise the fire a lot because when you bring flour, if you could go to the bottom and get burned, ruining the recipe.

4.- Finally, place the onion soup in individual bowls. They must be oven resistant. We put a slice of bread from the previous day on top. And on top of the cheese bread and, Baked, with the grill set at 200ºC! Until it has gratinated well.

The onion soup is one of my favorite soups. It mixes sweet flavors with salty in a very successful way. I hope you like it!
