Onion Soup

I have this lovely Italian cookbook, and I found this recipe in it. I made some changes to it, since we don’t eat a lot of dairy products and wheat flour.

I haven’t learned to make wheat free bread yet so I used the normal crostinis. But I will get there too.

We bought Gutturnio, red wine, to drink along the soup. Personally, I think that with this soup you can have a red wine that doesn’t have a strong flavor and taste. Otherwise it will cover the aroma and the delicate, sweet taste of the soup.

  1. I tried it… and it was delicious! The ghee adds a sweet flavor to the soup and makes it very balanced. Worth tasting, especially if you haven’t tried an onion soup yet.
