Onion soup
Description
Looking at the list of ingredients for this soup, you might think there are too few of them, and the soup won't be flavorful or rich enough. But I'm eager to assure you: this soup turns out very tasty, primarily because several types of onions are used, complementing each other perfectly. Moreover, the onions are first sautéed and then simmered, resulting in a rich and vibrant flavor. If you enjoy grain-based soups or pureed soups, be sure to try my recipe. The soup is ready to serve.
