Onion Gratin Soup

Najika here! I'm gonna give you my second recipe. Onion Gratin soup. I made this for my friend Daichi. It can be made with very limited ingredients, which makes it a good option. You can also make the Japanese version with Mochi instead of French bread.

ONION GRATIN SOUP









Ingredients

Serves 2 people
1 large onion
1 1/2 tbsp butter
1 3/4 cups beef consomme
1/2 cup shredded cheese
2 slices French bread
some salt and pepper

1. Boil the consomme and set aside.

2. Peel the onion and slice it into thin strips.

3. Heat the butter on medium in a frying pan. Be careful not to burn the butter. Put the onion in the butter and saute until onion begins to turn clear. Stir well with a wooden spoon so it won't burn. Sauteing it well makes the sweetness come out of the onion!

4. Add the consomme to the frying pan and stir. Add salt and pepper to taste.

5. Put the soup into a heat-resistant bowl or cup. Put the sliced French bread and shredded cheese on top. Put it in a toaster oven for 4 to 5 minutes. When it turns golden-brown, it's done!
