This is a delicious soup. The secret is to caramelise the onions first.
Ingredients
- 4 or 5 good sized onions shopping list
- 25g/1 oz butter shopping list
- 1 ltr/1 1/2pts beef stock shopping list
- 50g/2 oz cheddar cheese grated shopping list
- toast or croutons shopping list
- salt and black pepper to season shopping list
How to make it
- The secret to making this soup really tasty is to sauté the onions on a fairly high heat so that they go golden brown and caramelise.
- Peel and slice the onions whole so they are in rings then add them to a large pan with the butter. Turn the heat up to almost full, give them a good stir to coat with the melted butter and put a lid on the pan. Give them a stir now and then and you will find that they stick to the pan and burn slightly which is just what we want to get them nicely caramelised.
- After about 15-20 minutes when they are nicely browned, add the beef stock, salt and black pepper and simmer gently for another 20 minutes.
- Pour the soup into a bowl and float some croutons on the top. Spoon a few onions on to the toast and then sprinkle the cheese on top. Place under the grill until the cheese has melted.
- Serve with some more toast, grated cheese and a smile
