Traditional French Onion Soup slow-cooks sweet onions in butter and olive oil, builds a roux, deglazes with brandy, and simmers in meat broth.
In this Onion French Soup we must use sweet onions, we will find them in any market. If another type of onion is used but the flavor will no longer be equally soft and sweet
呢道法式洋蔥湯必須用甜洋蔥，喺任何市場都買到。如果用其他類型嘅洋蔥，味道就唔會咁柔和香甜。
Peel the sweet onions and cut them into julienne (lengthwise and thinly sliced). we put them in a bowl.
將甜洋蔥去皮，切成絲（縱向切薄片）。放入碗中備用。
We choose a large casserole, heat the oil in the bottom of the casserole. We add butter, which is the true basis of this French soup.
選一個大砂鍋，喺鍋底加熱食油。加入牛油，呢個係呢道法式湯嘅真正基礎。
When it has melted and mixed with the olive oil, add the onions and finely chopped garlic
待牛油融化同橄欖油混合後，加入洋蔥同切碎嘅蒜頭。
If we have not used sweet onions, add a spoonful of sugar. Sprinkle the flour in the pan and stir gently to mix well. The effect of the flour with the onion and especially the butter is called Roux, it will help us to bind and thicken the soup.
如果冇用甜洋蔥，加入一匙砂糖。將麵粉撒入鑊中輕輕攪拌均勻。麵粉配合洋蔥特別係牛油嘅效果稱為炒麵糊（Roux），可以幫助湯汁結合及變濃。
Add the brandy and let 2 minutes evaporate to the alcohol.
加入白蘭地，讓酒精揮發 2 分鐘。
We introduce the broth that could be meat, vegetables or chicken. Bring all these ingredients to a boil for 15-20 minutes over a very low heat.
加入高湯，可以係肉湯、蔬菜湯或雞湯。以極細火將所有材料煮滾 15 至 20 分鐘。

小貼士
Onion French Soup, is a liquid soup but it can be transformed into creamy. It adds a little starch that gives a texture between soup and cream.
法式洋蔥湯係一道清湯，但可以變成忌廉湯。加入少量澱粉，令質感介乎清湯同忌廉之間。
