Onion Soup

Onion Soup step by step instructions:

I once read it somewhere that onion is very beneficial during viral fever. Also if you don’t want to catch the fever then include raw onions in your daily diet. Well, to be very true, I don’t include raw onions in my daily diet but whenever either of us is suffering from the fever I always make this soup. It gives a soothing effect.

The taste of this soup is really nice as I always flavor it with carom seeds (ajwain) and dried basil leaves (fresh ones will too be good). It is although very simple to make but the cooking time is high around 30-35 minutes.
