Onion soup with toasted croutons

Ingredients: (serves 4)
For the onion soup:
400 grams of sweet onions
60 grams of virgin olive oil
2 liters of water
20 grams of Jang for the Wok
Salt

For the other items:
300 grams of cream
12 green onions, 30 grams of each
20 grams of cut pieces of bread
Salt
Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:
For the onion soup:
1. Peel the onions and cut them into rounds approximately 1 centimeter thick. Grill the onions on a charcoal grill with a dash of olive oil until they are cooked through.
2. Place the grilled onions in a pot and cover with water. Allow to simmer over a very low flame for two hours. Clean by spooning off the foam that appears on the surface of the soup. Once the two hours have passed, strain the soup, adjust with salt to taste, and add Jang for the Wok. Mix well and set aside until ready to serve.

For the creamed green onions:
1. In a saucepan over a low flame, simmer the peeled green onions in cream for about 20 minutes, until the onions are tender and the cream has thickened and taken on the scent of the onions. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Presentation:
1. Cut the green onions in half and sauté them in a frying pan or a griddle with a dash of olive oil. Once they begin to brown, add them to the onion soup in a saucepan. Cook for 15 minutes and serve with a teaspoon of cream.
2. Finish off the presentation with the cut pieces of bread toasted in the oven or over a woodstove.
