Easy Onion Soup

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
