Onion Soup with Rosemary

          
          Yet another hearty and healthy clear soup to satiate your appetite. It can be made wholesome by adding a tsp. of oats to it while boiling. The rosemary in it gives it a distinct extraordinary flavour. For more variations, add potatoes and garnish it with cream or butter. Make a similar and nourishing onion soup in a lemony flavour by adding some kafir lime leaves. 

• 2 onions, chopped
• 1-2 cloves garlic, chopped
• 1 tbsp. olive oil
• 2 bay leaves
• 1 twig rosemary
• salt to taste
• 1/2 tsp. pepper powder or to taste
• 3-4 cups chicken / vegetable stock
• fried onion, croutons or cheese to garnish

          Heat oil and temper with the bay leaves. Add the garlic and fry till it changes colour. Then add the onion and fry till translucent.

          Pressure cook along with rosemary, salt and pepper and the stock for 2 whistles. When cool, discard the bay leaves and blend into a puree. Heat through and serve, garnished with fried onion, croutons or cheese.
