Easy to make and yummy onion soup. Food for the soul and perfect for comfort on a rainy day.
Ingredients
  • 6 large onions
  • 3 tbsp white flour
  • 1 cup wine (it can be red or white- the only difference will be the color of the soup)
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil
  • ¼ tsp nutmeg
  • 7 cups chicken/ vegetable broth
  • Salt
  • Black pepper
Instructions
  1. Peel and slice the onions
  2. Melt the butter in a big pot over medium heat and add the oil to it once melted
  3. Place the sliced onions in the pot with the melted butter and oil, add the nutmeg and mix together. Stir the onions once every few minutes to ensure that they do not stick to the bottom of the pot or burn. Sir and saute until onions are golden and semi transparent (After about 20 minutes or so, you'll notice that the onions are soft and yellowish and that the liquid vaporized almost completely)
  4. Add the flour in gradually and mix well to ensure that it's incorporated with the onions and there are no lumps
  5. Pour the wine in and mix well
  6. Add the 7 cups of broth, salt and pepper and stir
  7. Once the soup boils Lower the heat to low
  8. Cover pot and let cook for about 35-40 minutes while stirring occasionally
