Time is well spent for the sweet satisfactory flavours that onion soup has to offer. It may take some time to cook but with so little ingredients its amazing!
Autumn has arrived and I am so happy that this has been the first soup I have made, the most important thing to remember is to caramelise the the onions long enough and let the sweet flavours speak for themselves.
You can serve it with the more traditional way, with a baguette with melted cheese on top but why not try something different, such as some nice herb bread and as you break the bread open let all the herbs fall into the soup.
This recipes serves 4 as a starter or 2 as a main.
