Simple Onion Soup Recipe Using Onions, Butter, Flour, Beef Broth

This wonderful soup blends the flavors of beef broth with bacon, three types of onions, half and half and more, for a really delicious result. The bacon adds saltiness to the onion soup recipe, so do not be tempted to add any salt earlier on or it will be too salty when you add the bacon. Try to get the bacon really crisp and brown so it is easier to crumble.

The flour in this onion soup recipe thickens the soup up a bit and the half and half makes it a little thicker, as well as adding a creamy texture. The minced celery complements the flavor of the onions.

This is such a special tasting onion soup that you might want to use homemade beef broth, rather than canned beef broth, to do the other ingredients justice. This is a simple onion soup recipe using onions, butter, flour, beef broth and more and often the simplest recipes are the ones, which most people prefer.
