Onion Soup 320g

The onion soup is a simple and flavorful dish. Let it spark your creativity in the kitchen and delight your guests' palates. Onion soup or soup à l’oignon is considered a typical dish of French cuisine, yet its history intertwines between France and Italy.

It is said that the soup arrived in France in 1533, thanks to Catherine de Medici, wife of King Henry II of Orleans. Catherine revolutionized French cuisine and brought with her some Tuscan recipes, including onion soup (the Carabaccia). French chefs at the Court of Paris reworked the Tuscan recipes. They replaced olive oil with butter and created some dishes that are still considered typical of French culinary tradition today.

Thus, onion soup, once sustenance for the poorest classes, has become a refined dish that has managed to conquer recipe books around the world.

Simple and natural ingredients to create an onion soup with a delicate and enveloping taste.

Curiosity: not all onions are the same

It may seem trivial, or perhaps not, but not all onions are the same. Nature offers us more than 20 varieties of onions. I imagine you may have wondered which one is most suitable for preparing your soup. This is a more than legitimate doubt. You should know that the type of onion used for soup preparation determines its flavor. For example, red onions give your soup a sweeter taste and usually shine in salads. That’s why in our soup you find white and yellow onions, which provide a rich and intense flavor, just as the traditional recipe suggests.

Remember that onions are considered a natural remedy, an aspect not to be overlooked. They are rich in vitamins, trace elements, and flavonoids, which are important for detoxifying the body.

Onion Soup 320g: use in the kitchen

How to cook an onion soup? Pour the contents of the jar into a saucepan. Add 150-160ml of water or better yet broth made by adding half a vegetable cube and heat it up. While the soup is heating, layer the slices of toasted bread in a casserole. When the soup boils, pour it into the casserole with the bread and enrich everything with a sprinkle of Parmigiano Reggiano or Gruyère. Resist the temptation to indulge, because the soup will tempt you, just a few more minutes. Place the casserole in the oven for about 8 or 9 minutes at 190°C and then your soup will be ready to be served.

If you don't use all the contents of the jar, remember to close it well and store it in the refrigerator.

How to serve onion soup

Hot and steaming, this is the best way to serve onion soup. Pour it into small ceramic bowls and accompany it with other slices of toasted bread and flavor it with a drizzle of evo oil.
If you prefer, you can substitute the bread with focaccia, which absorbs the soup more than bread and makes it even more substantial.
It is a frugal yet satisfying dish that you can serve as a main course or as a second course.

The onion soup from the Il Poggio farm embraces the Tuscan tradition and your guests will be thrilled. Pair it with a good wine, such as Morellino di Scansano or a Cabernet Sauvignon.
