My fellow employee Rodica shared this variation of onion soup with me. Rodica was born in Rumania, a country with superb and diverse cuisine, most delicious frit, cheese and various meat dishes. This onion soup is her favorite and I also like it.

The most interesting thing about the recipe is that we take different types of onions – the wider the variety, the better: yellow onions, red onions, green onions, shallot, leek – any you can find. Their flavors mix together to create a wonderful fragrant soup. If you add some tomato juice, the soup will turn pinky and acquire an interesting flavor note.

I recommend you try it!
