SHORT CUT FRENCH ONION SOUP



Short Cut French Onion Soup image

When the weather is brisk I love a bowl of onion soup topped with a toasted crouton and melted cheese. The usual cheese is a Swiss one like Emmenthal or Gruyère. But the secret to this preparation is to use Comté, a French cheese. You may have to hunt around to find it and it's more expensive than the Swiss cheeses, but it has a wonderful taste and a delightfully stringy texture when melted. I owe this discovery to Toronto Star food writer Amy Pataki. I like to eat this dish right away, so instead of taking the time to make the onion soup from scratch, I use a canned variety.

Categories     Cheese

Time 20m

Yield 2 bowls, 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 (10 ounce) can of ready-made onion soup
1 roll of crusty French bread or 1 baguette
100 g comte cheese
30 ml kirsch (optional) or 30 ml whiskey (optional)

Steps:

  • Prepare the onion soup according to the can directions.
  • Cut the bread into 1 inch thick slices shaped to fit into the top of an onion soup bowl. Toast on both sides.
  • If desired, stir an alcohol based spirit into the soup (my favourite is cognac).
  • Ladle the soup into two onion soup bowls. Top with toasted rounds.
  • Spread grated cheese on top of the toast; place under broiler.
  • Broil until the cheese is melted and golden. Serve immediately.
