Onion puree soup

30 minutes
Onion puree soup is a refined dish of French cuisine with a delicate texture and deeply rich flavor. This recipe traces back to traditional peasant cooking, where onion was an accessible and nutritious ingredient. The light sweetness of caramelized onion harmonizes with the tenderness of potatoes, carrots, and turnips, creating a soft creamy consistency. Adding butter, cream, and cheese enriches the soup and makes it particularly cozy in cool weather. This soup is often served with crispy croutons, while fresh herbs like dill and parsley add aromatic freshness. It is perfect as a standalone dish or as an elegant first course in a fine dinner.
