Onion soup

This is a very simplified version of the classic and refined French soupe á l’oignon, a humble and simple recipe perfect for cold days.
My creation does not involve the use of flour or yeast in the vegetable broth. However, it will turn out to be a very appetizing and healthy dish.
If you find bay leaves, add them to the onion during cooking, it will increase the taste and intensity of the aroma.

ingredients:

• 3 onions
• 500 ml of vegetable broth
• slices of bread
• 1 bay leaf
• extra virgin olive oil
• sugar

Chop the onions finely. Turn on the heat and pour the onions into the saucepan with a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil. Cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, add a teaspoon of sugar, the vegetable broth you have previously prepared.
Let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes with the lid on, add a bay leaf, if you have one, and mix a little. Taste and adjust to taste by adding salt.
Serve by adding a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil and toasted bread.
