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.
