1 kg of red Tropea onions
200 gr of olive Oil
1 tablespoon of flour
1 lt  of meat broth
Salt
Croutons

Calabrian onion soup

Preparation

Wash the onions under running water and cut them into thin slices. Let brown in olive oil to make them of dark-golden color, then add the flour previously cooked in oven, up to a straw color .

Stir for a few minutes the brown onions with the flour and add the meat broth.  On a moderate heat, reach the favorite degree of thickening of the soup; add a pinch of salt, if necessary, to season. Serve the hot soup with croutons as first course.

Optionally you can decorate with a sprinkle of Parmesan cheese.
