Calling all garlic and onion lovers!
Tourin is a French garlic and onion soup that originated in the southwest regions of Bordeaux and Périguord. While some other regions have their own version, and while the classic French onion soup is well-known, this recipe delivers such a unique and powerful garlicky taste that you must give it a try for the experience. If you enjoy it and want to go even further, you may want to increase the garlic-to-onion ratio!
FYI, this soup was traditionally used as a cure for hangovers, as the garlic supposedly helps with digestion! 😅
Enjoy with fresh bread and some Bordeaux red wine!
Bon appétit !
