This soup is a gift: must be prepared in advance, super easy, delicious AND elegant! I soaked the diced onions in water for a few minutes to remove the bite. After sautéing thoroughly, I pressure-cooked it till ingredients were very soft, so it would easily blend smoothly. Yes, it is very rich but worth it. Savor every slurp!
