Yes guys classics, I love them! Tasty recipes that will make your mouth water in advance because you know how it should taste and what to expect. In fact, you shouldn't mess with these kinds of recipes too much, because it usually doesn't make it any better. Why did I do that now? Because I wanted to make a nice soup as a side dish for the Christmas menu. (By the way, you can also make it all year round.) To give this soup a bit of an extra luxurious touch, I started working with truffle… and that's how this delicious French onion soup was created. Make it yourself and judge whether it is not at least as tasty as the original. onion soup healthy
Truly delicious French onion soup
In this recipe Delicious French onion soup I use truffle oil to fry the onions and dried truffle to sprinkle on the puff pastry spoons. The truffle oil in the stores usually does not contain real truffles because this is hysterically expensive. The taste of the oil is created by making synthetic substances from substances that also occur in the real truffle, so the oil does have the aroma of a truffle.
I did use pieces of dried truffle, which you can buy in a specialty store or wholesaler. Or go to a nice Italian caterer, they will also sell it. Don't use too much of it, otherwise the taste will really dominate.
For an extra taste sensation, you can also experiment with other delicacies, such as refined olive oil or finely chopped herbs. These ingredients add even more depth to the dish. It is important to use the truffle sparingly so that the unique flavor does not dominate. Enjoy a wonderful culinary experience with these special truffle creations.
Here you will find the complete recipe with all the ingredients you need. I hope you have fun preparing the dish below.

Where do I get truffle??
Hi Anita, I bought a jar of dried truffles at Sligro, but you can also easily order it online. If you search for black truffle, plenty of online stores will appear as an option. Or go to a delicatessen near you, they often have it too. Gr Francine
