Spring Onion Soup


All of us have heard of one of the most popular soup recipes in the world, the French onion soup. Well, spring onion soup is a lighter version of that delicious soup, it is light and easy to make and it is equally delicious. One can also try other variations of this recipe. It's not exactly a variation but accompanied with tomatoes and potatoes they may be even more appetizing. People who don't care much about the calorie intake need not be disheartened. We also have a creamy version of this soup that are sure to please your palate. Nonetheless, all the recipes should be tried to know the real taste and simply judged by the ingredients. So I won't keep you waiting for long.
