Autumn has arrived, or at least that's what the calendar says, so at home dinners are coming where soups and creams start to take centre stage. Today's recipe, the traditional onion soup recipe , is one of the star recipes at home, and the best thing of all is that it is very easy to make, but it is one hundred percent comforting!
So come on, stay with me and I'll tell you how I prepared this wonderful soup, which with a few touches can be one of your star dishes this season if you have friends over for dinner.
In my opinion, you will need two important things: a good vegetable broth, ideally you should have it ready the day before; and a good pot in which to prepare this traditional recipe - for this, there is nothing better than the Emile Henry pot , inspired by traditional clay pots, nothing better for a grandmother's recipe.
Ingredients
- 1.5 liters of vegetable broth, (2 leeks, 3 carrots, and onion)
- 3 large sweet onions
- Olive oil
- Salt and pepper
- Grated Parmesan
- Slices of bread
Preparation
- First, prepare the vegetable stock. To do this, wash all the ingredients, cut them into pieces, and sauté them in the Emile Henry ceramic pot with a little oil and salt . Add the water and cook for about 30 minutes - ideally it should be as concentrated as possible. Strain and set aside in the pot.
- In a frying pan, add oil and when it is hot, sauté the onions with a little salt and pepper ( be careful at this point, because the broth is already salty and you don't want to overdo it) , and continue until you see that they are golden. Once they are ready, add the onion to the pot and let it heat up again for about 20 minutes but without bringing it to the boil.
- While it is cooking, toast a few slices of bread and sprinkle with grated cheese, set aside.
- Serve the soup in plates or tureens that you can put in the oven for a few minutes (like those from Revol ), place the slices of bread on top and gratinate everything in the oven.
- If you prefer, you can toast the bread slices in a pan with a little butter and cheese, which will melt as well. Place them on top of the bowls and serve. Grate cheese on top again if you like, it will melt due to the heat.
As you can see, it is very easy to prepare and it is a soup that everyone usually likes. Bon appetit and happy autumn!
