French Onion Soup

French Onion Soup Recipe

Onion soup is a classic French dish.Onion soup can often be found in Canada, Quebec. The history of soup begins several centuries ago, when poor people could afford very little of the products. The soup is very simple to prepare and consists of a minimum of ingredients. The classic recipe dictates that the pieces of onion in the soup should be large. The taste of the onion is similar of stewed cabbage. We decided to make a puree of soup. Beat the soup with a blender until smooth and strain through a sieve. So the soup became creamy and tender.
