Clear onion soup has long been a classic in French cuisine, but I’ve always felt it deserves a wider spot in our culinary universe. When I first encountered this dish on a cold winter evening at a cozy restaurant, I was enchanted.  The simplicity of its ingredients belied the depth of flavor it delivered. Who knew a handful of onions could produce such a gem? Driven by that first experience, I started experimenting in my own kitchen. Unlike the thicker, creamier soups that often dominate winter menus, clear onion soup offers a vibrant, aromatic broth steeped in the natural sweetness of caramelized onions. In this post, I will guide you through crafting your very own clear onion soup, sharing my insights, tips, and tricks along the way.  You’ll learn why this recipe works, which ingredients to gather, and how to achieve that perfectly clear, flavorful broth.
