Ingredients

Cost per serving $6.49 view details
  • 2 ounce butter
  • 8 ounce onions, finely sliced
  • 1 c. sherry
  • 1 1/2 lt beef or possibly vegetable stock
  • 1 x cheesecloth
  • 1 x bouquet gari salt pepper
  • 4 slc baguette
  • 4 ounce Gruyere or possibly other sharp cheese

Directions

  1. In a large pan, heat the butter and add in the onions. Add in a healthy pinch of salt and leave them to soften over a low heat, about 40 min. At which point, uncover the pan and allow the onions to caramelize, turning a rich brown colour, about 30 min.
  2. Add in the sherry and allow the alcohol to evaporate for a minute. Pour the beef or possibly vegetable stock into the browned onions and allow the mix to boil briefly. Reduce the heat to a simmer and allow cooking for 10 to 15 min to allow the flavour of the onions to infuse the stock. Skim off any fat which rises to the surface.
  3. Ladle the soup into individual bowls. Float a piece of French bread across the top of each bowl and sprinkle cheese over it. Season with pepper and put the bowls under a warm broiler till the cheese melts and begins to bubble. Serve immediately.
  4. Preparation is easy
