I love the sweetness of onions.

Cut onions against the grain to break the fiber. If you don't do this, the onion will not have a soft texture.
It burns easily when you sauté with butter, so please stir constantly.
If you put bread and cheese on top of the soup and brown it in the oven, it will turn into onion gratin soup! Recipe by Toibou

Steps

1

Cut the onion in half, and slice thinly against the grain.
2

Melt butter in a pan, and saute the onions without burning them. It takes around 7~8 minutes for the onion to become clear and gain some color.
3

Add water and the soup stock cubes, and simmer for 10 minutes to bring the sweetness out of the onions. Skim off any scum that forms.
4

Season with salt and pepper, plate, garnish with parsley, and the soup is ready.
5

How to make onion gratin soup. Cut the crust off the white bread and cut into 4 pieces. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
6

Toast the bread in a toaster. Don't put butter. Brown it well.
7

Put the toasted bread in the soup.
8

Place melting sliced cheese (or thin shredded cheese) on top of the bread, and bake in a 200°C oven for 5~6 minutes.
9

When cheese is melted and has slightly burnt, the soup is ready.
