Cooking variations
According to legend, such a French onion soup was prepared by Louis XV, when he really wanted to eat at night, but in his house there were no products except butter, onions and champagne. The king mixed the ingredients to make the same onion soup. This soup is now cooked in broth, and not necessarily meat. You can make a vegetable broth, and from this the soup will not become less tasty.
The main ingredient of the soup is onion, which is prepared very carefully and for a long time. Onions are steamed for a long time so that the taste of the soup is bright and rich. Often, dry white wine or sherry is added to onion soup. Cheese is used to serve soup to the table. This is usually cheese that melts well. If you really like cheese, you can add several different types of cheese to the soup. Before serving, soup can be sprinkled with finely chopped herbs, such as green onions, dill or parsley.
