ONION SOUP RECIPE instructions :

- Slice onions very rustically, even sizes are not required.

- Melt butter in deep electric frying pan set to 300ºf, place onions in pan - cover and leave alone for 15 minutes.

1.

- Stir onions at the 15 minute mark, and then occasionally every 5-10 minutes until deep mahogany brown. This could take 1 hour or more, and is vital to the flavour of the soup.
2.

-Slice baguette and ‘toast’ under the broiler of your oven to make croutons.
3.

-Once onions are caramelized, turn heat in pan up to highest temp and add wine. Watching and stirring reduce liquid until it is a sticky syrup.
4.

-Lower Temp to 200º, add bouquet garni, and stock, cover and simmer for 15-20 minutes.
5.

-Spoon into oven proof single serve crocks, or ramekins. Place 1-2 croutons into onion soup, and cover with grated cheese.
6.

-Place onion soup under broiler to melt and brown cheese. Alternatively a kitchen torch works best if you don’t have a gas oven.

Your onion soup is ready to serve !
