With this recipe it’s very important that you caramelise the onions very well, they need to be a very nice dark colour. Don’t rush this process, it’s very important for the taste of the soup. Never just throw the onions in the whine wine and the stock, you’ll miss a lot of the taste of the onions.
You can have this soup as a starter but also easily as a meal for dinner of lunch. As as starter reduce the size of the portions, otherwise you won’t be able to get on to the next course.
