Traditional French onion soup topped with a fresh muffin and cheese

A slightly contemporary take on an old favourite - using a muffin instead on the more convetional French bread.

What you need

3 onions, peeled, halved and finely sliced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and crushed
500 ml red wine
500 ml good quality beef stock
3 tsp chopped fresh tarragon
seasoning
2 muffins, cut in half and toasted
100 g cheddar cheese, grated

Method

  1. Cook the onions and garlic in a hot pan with no butter or oil, stirring continuously for 5-10 min. This will caramelise the onions and brown them.

  2. Add the red wine, beef stock and tarragon. Bring to the boil and simmer for 35-40 min. Season to taste.

  3. To serve, spoon the soup into heatproof serving bowls. Top with the toasted muffins. Sprinkle on the cheese.

  4. Grill under a medium preheated grill for 2-3 min or until golden.
