Fresh and Authentic Onion Soup Recipe: Winter Comfort in Every Bowl

On a cold winter evening, nothing beats the comfort of a steaming bowl of homemade onion soup. This delicious and nutritious classic is packed with warmth, flavor, and a hearty dose of nutrients, making it a favorite across European, American, and Canadian tables. Whether you need a quick dinner or a spicy, seasoned soup to start your day, this fresh onion soup recipe is an easy and satisfying choice.

Why This Recipe Is Worth Making

This onion soup recipe isn’t just another soup - it’s a healthy and refreshing soup filled with flavor from Pride of India’s Lemon Seasoning and Onion Salt. Caramelized onions, a rich broth, and a hint of spice make it perfect for cozy winter nights or even a hearty breakfast recipe.

Ingredients You’ll Need Special Preparation Tips
  • Onion Selection: Use yellow onions for a sweet, balanced flavor. Red onions will give a more robust taste, while white onions are milder.
  • Broth Substitution: For a lighter color, opt for chicken broth. Both chicken and beef broth bring depth to this easy recipe.
  • Seasoning Tip: Using Pride of India’s herbs and spices elevates the soup’s flavor, making it stand out from traditional versions. 
Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Caramelize the Onions (20-25 minutes):
    Melt the butter in a large soup pot over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown and caramelized. This slow process develops a deep, rich flavor.
  2. Add Flour and Cook (2 minutes):
    Stir in the flour, ensuring it coats the onions. Cook for about 2 minutes until the flour browns slightly.
  3. Simmer with Broth and Seasonings (15-20 minutes):
    Add the broth, ginger, our Onion Salt, Lemon Chili Pepper Seasoning, thyme, and Black Pepper. Bring the soup to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer until thickened.
  4. Serve Hot:
    Ladle the hot, seasoned soup into bowls. Garnish with a sprinkle of our Lemon Chili Pepper Seasoning for a spicy touch or a drizzle of heavy cream for a creamy variation.

Variations to Try

  • Vegan Option: Replace butter with olive oil and use vegetable broth.
  • Creamy Version: Stir in 1/4 cup of room-temperature heavy cream after simmering for a richer texture.
  • Zesty Kick: Add extra Lemon Chili Pepper Seasoning for a bold flavor.
Conclusion

Perfect for winter nights or a cozy breakfast recipe, this homemade onion soup is a must-try. Enhanced with Pride of India’s seasonings, it brings bold, authentic flavors to your table. Simple to make, yet full of complex tastes, this easy and quick recipe is a winter winner that you’ll return to time and again.
