Hello Leslie. Thank you for stopping by my blog. Glad you were able to discover the blinchiki story there:) You have a lovely blog. Interesting recipes. This soup sounds and looks delicious. I am saving it to make it one day. I have a savory tooth like you:) although the rest of the family has a sweet one:) Cheers.

Sophia, it gives just a hint of almonds when you taste it. They seem to put in more in Tuscany, but i like it like this. :o)

This is the first time I've heard of this soup, but it's really intriguing…I LOVE that there are almonds in there! Wow~

Juliana,
The Italian version is much nicer than the French one, they call it sweet onion, but it's not over the top. Best time to view the Ponte Vecchio is at sunset…

I absolutely love this version of onion soup…with all the other ingredients :-)
And the picture of Florence is just so pretty, wish to go back again sometime in the near future :-)

Thanks for your comment on my blog! And how nice to find a recipe for an Italian onion soup, will try it for sure!
Ans YES, I've made Nigella's pavlova with passionfruit, I love it. But I love the version from 'Forever Summer' (a chocolate pavlova with raspberries) even more!

Jessica,
Don't forget to get Lon to rub the snout of the bronze boar:

then he'll return! Tuscan soups are wonderfully thick & full of flavour…

Florence is Lon's favorite place in the world and I'm desperately hoping to go in 2010. This soup has some interesting flavors, not the onions soup I was expecting.

Michela,
Isn't that the truth! We never seem to visit wonderful places if they're just down the road! Why is that?
French boring? Nah, can't believe that….
