Onion Soup Recipe

Mediterranean French Onion Soup Recipe


A Great - Healthy - Onion Soup RecipeHere's a quick and easy onion soup recipe. You can make it in about thirty minutes from scratch and it really is fantastic - full of flavour and heartily healthy.
We use our own wholemeal bread but the original used stale white French bread to use it up mainly.
There's nothing better to warm you up on a cool winter's evening.
Why not include it in your own Mediterranean diet. It's healthy and full of goodness.
Eat well - feel full and satisfied and lose those excess pounds without undue effort.
