Onion soup with white wine

Onions are full of health-boosting nutrients that can help stave off nasty colds. 

But many people avoid eating them because of their strong aroma.

This recipe transforms that aroma into a gentle but rich taste. This versatile soup is perfect all-year round. Add oat cream or vegan cheese for a great winter-warmer, or keep it light and enjoy as part of a delicious summer lunch.

Laura Olasz

Healthy and sound nutrition is a fundamental aspect of life quality, it is essential for a prolonged and active life. That was what I have learnt from my mother as a child, and still defines my daily life. I think veganism is one of the best choices to keep healthy, as long as you keep your dishes varied and balanced. By my recipes I support balanced diet, and deliver ideas for vegans and non- vegans alike. Just a quick glance on what to expect in the future: makeovers of regular dishes to vegan delicacies, traditional international dishes re-imagined in the vegan way, and desserts – because who doesn’t love desserts?! Peace on your plate!
