Instructions
Step 1
Peel the onions and cut them into half rings. To make the dish appetizing and aromatic, you need to fry the onion a little. To do this, place a lump of butter in a heavy-bottomed saucepan and melt it.
Step 2
Fry the onions over moderate heat, stirring constantly with a wooden spatula. Make sure it doesn't burn. Saute the onions until they are light golden and soft. It is for a ruddy shade that choose sweet varieties of onions. The roasting process will take about 20 minutes.
Step 3
Add salt, pepper, add sugar to the onion and add flour. Cook for another 10 minutes. While the onion is cooking, cook the chicken or beef broth, strain.
Step 4
Add hot broth (half of what you prepared) to a saucepan with sautéed onions, bring to a boil, cook over medium heat for at least 15 minutes. When the water evaporates a little, pour in the remaining broth and white wine for piquancy, cook for another 30-40 minutes.
Step 5
The soup should be moderately thick. Pour it into bowls or ovenproof pots.
Cut the baguette, put in the soup, drowning them a little. It should get a little wet on both sides. You can take regular crackers. Sprinkle the soup generously with grated cheese on top. Serve the soup hot.
