Onion soup

Onion soup is a traditional and comforting dish primarily prepared with caramelized onions, broth (usually beef or chicken), and toasted bread with gratinéed cheese on top. This ingredient, in the context of cooking recipes, refers to the base preparation or the dish itself, highly valued for its intense flavor and creamy texture.

Origin: Onion soup has its roots in French cuisine, where it is known as Soupe à l'oignon. Although its classic version is French, this soup has been adapted and popularized in many Spanish-speaking regions, becoming a common dish in various culinary cultures.

Properties: Onion soup is rich in antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds from the onion, which is its main ingredient. Furthermore, it provides a good amount of B vitamins, vitamin C, and fiber. When prepared with broth and bread, it becomes an energetic and nutritious dish, ideal for cold days or as a comforting starter.

Synonyms in Spanish from Latin America: Although it is more commonly referred to simply as sopa de cebolla (onion soup), in some countries it may also be called caldo de cebolla (onion broth), especially when emphasizing the liquid part of the dish. However, the most recognized and used term in recipes is sopa de cebolla.
