Irish onion soup
A rich and buttery onion soup topped with crispy blue cheese toasts makes this a heavenly vegetarian lunch dish for colder days.
Ingredients
50g butter
6 onions, sliced
Large pinch of salt
4 crushed garlic cloves
1 tbsp dark muscovado sugar
Method
Melt the butter in a large saucepan (with a lid) over a medium heat. Add the onions, sliced, and a large pinch of salt, then cook gently, covered, for 1 hour, stirring every now and then to make sure the onions don’t catch on the bottom of the pan. After 1 hour, add the garlic, cook for 6-8 minutes, then stir in the muscovado sugar. Cook, stirring, for another 10 minutes until the onions are caramelised.
Pour in the Guinness and bubble for 5 minutes to reduce slightly, then add the vegetable stock and simmer for 15 minutes until thickened. Taste and season. Read More…
