We all make onion soups differently, and it’s not the soup so much, as the lovely cheese and bread on the top that makes it a special soup for any occasion. I puree mine to make it palatable for my kids, but you can make it as a chunky option, with the onions obvious in the dish.

What’s the point of doing it in the soup maker if you are already using a pan?

For me a beef stock and a bit of vinegar helps this along. I also prefer more butter no olive oil…
