brown onions
Savory soup base
Brown onions are the most common cooking onion in many countries, with papery golden-brown skin and pungent white flesh.
They're the default "onion" in most recipes—versatile enough for sautéing, caramelizing, or eating raw.
The name distinguishes them from red, white, or yellow onions, though "yellow onion" and "brown onion" often refer to the same thing depending on region.
