This soup was a bit too salty for my taste, but it was still very good. I would recommend using less salt next time.

This soup was easy to make and so delicious! I used a mix of yellow and white onions and it gave the soup a really nice flavor. I also added a bit of thyme and rosemary, which I think really enhanced the flavor.
