Author Notes
Traditional onion soups are usually a result of a lot of work. You have to saute the onions and then know what to add and when. Well, in this one all you need is broth, onions, flour and wine. One hour (including cooking time) will give you a delicious and flavorful onion soup. My family just LOVES this one! —Maya Moscovich
