Ingredients

  • 1 kg onions;

Notes

Alternatively:

  • If you don't have any broth, use water and replace white wine with red;
  • You can replace Conte with hard yellow cheese, suitable for grating;
  • You can toast the slices with the cheese on top and serve the soup with the baguette on it with additional baking.
