How to make Onion and Thyme Soup:
- We gather all the ingredients to make the onion and thyme soup. In this case we have used red onion, but this recipe is originally made with white onion.
- In a saucepan, melt the butter and add the julienned onion. Let it cook over low heat with a pinch of salt until the onion releases all its water.
- When it is poached, add the water and bring to a boil. Cover and let cook for 20-30 minutes over low heat. We rectify salt if necessary.
- This step is optional since we have decided to prepare an onion soup with egg. Then, while the previous preparation boils, we make the poached egg.
- Put a layer of plastic wrap in a bowl, crack the egg, add a little salt, close it like a bag and put it in a pot of boiling water for 4 minutes. Once cooked, put it in cold water and remove the plastic wrap with the help of scissors. We booked.
- On the other hand, add the thyme to the onion soup and let it infuse for 5 minutes.
- Crush the onion soup with the help of a blender (it is necessary to remove the thyme). This soup should be like a very light cream.
