法式傳統洋蔥湯以牛油同橄欖油慢煮甜洋蔥，炒成麵糊後加白蘭地及肉高湯煮成香濃湯。
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。
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
將甜洋蔥去皮，切成絲（縱向切薄片）。放入碗中備用。
Peel the sweet onions and cut them into julienne (lengthwise and thinly sliced). we put them in a bowl.
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。

待牛油融化同橄欖油混合後，加入洋蔥同切碎嘅蒜頭。
When it has melted and mixed with the olive oil, add the onions and finely chopped garlic
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。

Tips
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。
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.
