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
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.
Add the red wine, beef stock and tarragon. Bring to the boil and simmer for 35-40 min. Season to taste.
To serve, spoon the soup into heatproof serving bowls. Top with the toasted muffins. Sprinkle on the cheese.
Grill under a medium preheated grill for 2-3 min or until golden.
