Spain on a Fork > All Recipes > > Spanish Onion Soup | More Flavorful than French Onion Soup
All Recipes, / March 29, 2021

This Spanish Onion Soup is one of the most flavorful onion soups I have ever tasted. Its got a ton of different flavors, it´s easy to make and made with very simple ingredinets. If you´re a fan of French onion soup, this Spanish version will blow you away.
This soup is the perfect dish for any time of the year. As you can serve it either piping hot or even at room temperature. Either way, it´s always going to fill your body with so much goodness.
To make this dish, I used regular brown onions. But you can use any onions you like. However, if you use sweet onions, make sure to season the soup well, so the flavors are well balanced.
TIPS & TRICKS to Make this Recipe: The secret here is to use the highest-quality ingredients. From sweet smoked Spanish paprika, to a great broth to an amazing olive oil. It makes all the difference.
Key Ingredients & Cookware I used in this Recipe:
MY SWISS DIAMON FRYING PANS
EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
SPANISH SEA SALT

Excellent dish — quick and fun to make while finishing the bottle of wine! Next time we might add a little chopped tomato on top to add some acid/brightness. I will be making this a lot in 2022! Thank you!14 . Dec . 2021
