How to Make Simple Onion Soup
Ever wanted to make plain and simple onion soup? This is a plain soup without all the fancy additions of the typical French onion soup. It's very tasty and a great way to use up excess onions.
Preparing the Onions and Garlic
-
Cut two medium-sized onions into small wedges of about 2 cm/1 inch long.
-
Put the onions into a bowl.
-
Add enough water to cover the onions. Then double that amount of water, so you will have twice the amount of water you would need to cover the onions.
-
Cut a clove of garlic into small pieces and it to the onions.
-
Cut another medium-sized onion into slices.
Cooking the Soup
-
Boil the original onion mixture until the onions are completely cooked.
-
Fry the sliced onion until golden brown.
-
Add the fried onion to the boiled onion stew.
-
Add salt and any required spices.
- Add a teaspoon of cornflour and stir well. This is optional; it helps to thicken the soup and make it less gruel-like.
-
Simmer the soup for about 5 minutes.
-
Ladle into soup bowls and serve.
Ingredients

Tips
