Ingredients
Big Onion – 2
Butter – 2 teaspoons
Water – 4 cups
Milk – ¼ cup
Corn flour – 1 teaspoon

Directions
- Begin by peeling and finely chopping the onions.
- In a thick-bottomed pot, melt butter and sauté the chopped onions until they are glossy but not browned.
- Add water, a pinch of salt, and pepper powder, then bring to a boil for five minutes, or pressure cook for one whistle. Once cooled, blend into a smooth puree and strain through a sieve.
- Return the puree to the pot and bring to a boil once more. As it starts to boil, lower the heat.
- Combine the flour with milk and stir it into the soup. Continue stirring for a few seconds, then remove from heat.
- Garnish with chopped coriander leaves, season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot. Optionally, you can add a touch of fresh cream when serving.
