The sweet onion soup with gooey melted cheese is incredibly delicious. It's perfect for a cold day. Please give it a try.

The origin of this recipe
Sautéing onions until they turn caramel-colored used to take a lot of effort and time, so I tried using a microwave to make it easier.

Steps

1

Prepare the ingredients.
2

Cut the onions into thin wedges and place them in a microwave-safe dish.
3

Loosely cover with plastic wrap, add 1 tablespoon of butter on top, and microwave at 500W for 15 minutes.
4

Be careful when removing the plastic wrap as it will be hot. The onions should be soft, which reduces the time needed to sauté them until caramelized.
5

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter in a frying pan and add the onions from step 3.
6

Sauté over medium heat while stirring. After about 10 minutes, the onions will become caramel-colored.
7

Crumble the 2 bouillon cubes into the pan and add 1 2/3 cups (400ml) of water.
8

Once the bouillon has dissolved, add 1/2 teaspoon of salt.
9

Add pepper to taste.
10

Pour the mixture from step 8 into an oven-safe dish and place lightly toasted French bread on top.
11

Add meltable cheese on top. For extra flavor, you can also sprinkle grated cheese.
12

Bake in a toaster oven or an oven preheated to 350°F (180°C) until the cheese is browned, and it's ready to serve.
