Onion soup, Zuppa di cipolle in Italian, is a dish of humble origin, known since Roman times when plebeians could afford only onions, potatoes and nothing more to eat.

And now you are probably wondering why a simple soup made of onions and cheese is so popular?

You can find an onion soup recipe in every country: onions don’t cost much and it’s quite easy to grow them even on a small strip of land.

But if the recipe is a piece of cake, its flavor is simply awesome and with a few, clever touches, and an avalanche of cheese, you will prepare an epic onion soup.

We said that each country has its own version of onion soup and gradually as we get closer to the French borders, it becomes increasingly cheesy, where it is virtually a flow of Fromage.

What better time if this cold February to revive a classic, tasty, hearty recipe as the onion soup? It is a recipe that you can always keep in your pockets: you can make it in a few minutes with simple ingredients.

How to prepare the perfect onion soup (Zuppa di cipolle)

Thinly slice the onions and brown them over medium heat in a thick-bottomed saucepan, until they become transparent.

Stir in the flour, milk and salt. When everything is well blended add the hot broth according to the creaminess we want to achieve, then simmer for about fifteen minutes.

Simple, easy, but with an irresistible flavor, this soup has challenged the passing of centuries but still is one of the most illustrious protagonists of our tables.

What goes well with onion soup?

We choose a floral, fresh, white wine to degrease the palate and at the same time establish a subtle harmony with the onions: Unterhofer’s Chardonnay is warm and buttery, perfect for this soup.

If you want to pair a cocktail, the Americano is an excellent idea.
