French Onion Soup

I absolutely adore this soup! There’s just something so much more special about the flavour when you use chicken stock instead of beef. I personally think it gives a more rounded & delicate flavour. And let’s be honest – everything is better with melted cheese.

Take your large pot and place over a medium heat. Add in the Butter (3 Tbsp). When melted, tip in all the Onions (5 cups) and give it a stir.

step 2
Continue to cook for approximately 25 to 35 minutes whilst stirring occasionally. You want to get a nice golden brown colour – try not to be impatient and give in early. Also, don’t worry too much if it catches on the bottom of the pan, it’s all adding caramelisation and flavour!

When the timer has beeped – remove the lid and fish out the bay leaves and thyme sprigs. If saving for later, allow to cool completely before dividing into bags/tubs and freezing. If you want to serve straight away – preheat your grill.
