Mediterranean Style French Onion Soup Recipe

Ingredients

How to make it

  • In a large saucepan, add the oil, heat on a very low heat and sautée the onions, stirring often, for some 2 hours or so or until well, well browned (caramelised) but not burned;
  • Add the sugar about 15 minutes or so into the process to help with the browning (carmelization);
  • When satisfied re carmelization, add the garlic and sautée for about 1 minute then add the stock, vermouth (or wine), bay leaf, and thyme;
  • Bring to boil, partially cover and simmer about 30 minutes until the flavours are well blended;
  • Season to taste with salt and pepper;
  • Discard the bay leaf;
  • To serve, ladle the soup into individual oven-proof soup bowls or a large casserole dish; Cover with the toast and sprinkle on the cheese to cover the toast to taste;
  • Either place straight under a very hot grill for a few minutes or place into a broiler at 180c/350f/gas 4 for about 10 minutes until the cheese bubbles and is slightly browned and golden;
  • Serve immediately.
