French Onion SoupFrench Onion Soup can be one of those 'complete' meals soups that make up a lunch menu or even a main course. Once you add the crusty cheese topping (...my favorite has a pastry lid on top of all that!) you have what a friend of mine calls 'a savory liquid pie'.We have two slightly different recipes for you including a video version, so try one of them and see how they taste but beware, they can be very filling. Time: 2.53 mins. Sound On? Onions come in various shapes and sizes but here we are more concerned with the Globe or Spanish Onion, the one with the white flesh and brown papery skin. They are from the lily family and half a cup of Spanish onion will have a calorie value of about 35 calories. Onions are a good source of Vitamin C, Potassium and Folic acid, as well as being high in antioxidants.
