Ingredients

3 large onions (about 600g)
1 oz (30g) butter
1/8 cup (20g) flour
6 cups (1.5L) of water
Thin sliced bread (baguette or white bread)
1/2 cup (50g) grated cheese
Salt, pepper

Cookware

1 Dutch oven (ovenproof)

Preparation

Peel the onions. Cut into thin slices by hand or, even easier, use a mandolin slicer or a food processor
In a Dutch oven (ovenproof), slowly sauté the onions in the butter. Sprinkle with flour and stir with a wooden spoon until the onions start to lightly brown. Add the water, salt and pepper
Bring to a boil and then simmer for about 20 minutes.
Lightly toast the bread slices in the oven using the broiler
Place the toasted slices on top of the soup and sprinkle with grated cheese
Broil again for a few minutes to melt the cheese
Serve hot.

Final Thoughts

To avoid crying while cutting the onions, you can put them in a plastic bag while cutting to protect your eyes!
Do not let the onions burn, otherwise the soup will have a pungent and bitter taste!
