The onion soup, or “soupe a l’oignon” if you prefer, is one of the most nutritious and delicious starters there is. It is a buttery caramel-flavored wonder. Let’s enhance its smoky finger-licking onion flavor with white wine and beef stock. Hit the home run by topping each individual portion with roasted slices of bread and gooey Gruyere and parmesan cheese.
