Ingredients (serves 4):

• 4 large yellow onions

• 6 garlic cloves

• 1 liter (4 cups) vegetable broth

• 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

• 1 sprig of fresh rosemary (or 1 teaspoon dried rosemary)

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)

• 4 slices of whole-grain bread or baguette (for serving)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the vegetables: Peel and thinly slice the onions. Peel and roughly chop the garlic cloves.

2. Cook the onions and garlic: In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring often, until they become golden and soft.

3. Add the broth: Stir in the chopped garlic, rosemary, salt, and pepper. Let it cook for 2 minutes, then pour in the hot vegetable broth and bring to a boil.

4. Simmer: Reduce the heat and let the soup simmer for 20-25 minutes, covered.

5. Serve: Toast the bread slices in the oven or in a pan. Serve the hot soup with the crispy bread on top or on the side.

✨ Tip: For extra flavor, you can leave the rosemary sprig in the soup while it cooks and remove it before serving.
