Ingredients to make Onion Soup with Parmesan Cheese:

  • 3 onions
  • 1 liter of broth
  • 1 tablespoon of olive oil
  • 20 grams of butter
  • ½ small glass of white wine
  • 1 tablespoon of wheat flour
  • 1 cup croutons
  • 60 grams of Parmesan cheese
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 clove garlic

How to make Parmesan Onion Soup:

  • To start preparing this gratin onion soup, peel and cut the onion julienne, that is, into thin strips. If you want you can also cut them into rings, the important thing is that it is a fine cut.
  • Find a deep enough pot and heat the oil over medium heat. Add the butter, stir well and fry the onion. The idea is to make a kind of caramelized onion.
  • Also add a pinch of salt.
  • Continue cooking for about 20 minutes over a very low heat to prevent the onion from sticking.
  • Onion is the main ingredient in this Parmesan soup, so its appearance is very important. If you want it to be transparent and white, leave the pot covered but if on the contrary you want it to be darker, you just have to uncover the pot
  • After this time, add the flour and stir the whole with a wooden spoon. Immediately after, add the alcohol and let it evaporate for a couple of minutes.
  • The flour will help the onion soup to have more consistency, but it is not an essential ingredient.
  • To finish, add the broth and raise the heat. The onion soup should break to a boil and that is when you should lower the flame to finish cooking for about 10-15 more minutes.
  • To make this onion soup you can use chicken broth or vegetable broth.
  • Serve the soup in individual bowls and add a handful of toasted bread and a good layer of Parmesan cheese to each plate. You can serve it as is or put it in the oven for a couple of minutes so that the cheese gratins.
  • Enjoy Parmesan Onion Soup for dinner time or as a snack on a cold winter day. And if you feel like something more forceful, you can try the recipe for onion soup with egg.
