ROASTED ONION SOUP WITH GOAT'S CHEESE TOASTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the onions in a roasting tin with the oil, salt and pepper. Give it a good stir, then roast for 45 mins, stirring halfway through, until the onions are tinged brown, but not burnt.
• Tip the onions into a large pan with the stock, mustard and Marmite. Bring to the boil and simmer for 15 mins, then stir in the parsley. Toast 4 of the bread slices then scatter on the cheese. Ladle the soup into bowls, pop a toast into each and serve with the extra slices of bread on the side.

CLASSIC ONION SOUP WITH GRUYERE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F and preheat broiler.
• Melt butter and oil together in a large stock pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onions and sugar and cook 10 minutes, until onions are tender and golden brown. Add thyme, bay leaves, salt, and black pepper and stir to coat. Cook 1 minute, until fragrant. Add port and simmer until liquid is absorbed. Add broth and Parmesan rind and bring mixture to a boil. Reduce heat to low, partially cover and simmer 20 minutes.
• Remove bay leaves and Parmesan rind and ladle soup into oven-proof bowls. Place bowls on a baking sheet. Place reserved bread rounds or a sourdough round into each bowl and top bread with Gruyere cheese. Broil 2 to 3 minutes, until cheese is golden and bubbly.

ONION AND GRUYERE SOUP

Steps:

• In a medium saucepan over medium heat, cook butter until foamy. Stir in onions and cook a couple of minutes, then reduce heat, stir in salt, cover and cook very slowly until very tender, 60 minutes.
• Transfer onions and their caramel to a larger pot and place it over medium heat. Pour in the wine and bring to a boil. Stir in chicken broth, pepper and nutmeg and simmer gently, uncovered, 15 minutes.
• Stir in shredded cheese until melted (cheese will remain a little stringy). Serve.

ROASTED ONION SOUP WITH GRUYERE TOASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Peel and slice the onions very thinly. (This can be done by hand or in a food processor using the slicing blade.) Spread the onion slices on the prepared cookie sheets and drizzle with olive oil. Place the onions in the oven and roast until the slices become translucent and the edges become golden. Roasting time will vary according to how thinly you slice the onions, but likely about 20 minutes or so. Remove the onions from the oven, but leave the oven on as you will need it for the Gruyère toasts shortly. Carefully place the cooked onions in the bottom of a large soup pot. Add the wine, stock, port, and bay leaves. Bring the liquid to a boil, then lower it to a simmer. Simmer the soup uncovered for about 25 minutes. While the soup is simmering, cover one cookie sheet with a fresh piece of parchment paper. Place the stale bread slices on the parchment paper and distribute the grated Gruyère evenly over the bread slices. Bake until the bread is toasted and the cheese is fully melted, about 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove the bay leaves from the soup pot. Taste. Add salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. When ready to serve, divide the Gruyère toasts between 4 soup bowls. Spoon the hots soup over the Gruyère toasts. Enjoy.
