How to Make Red Onion Soup

This is a difference on the French red onion soup but taste sweeter due to the red onions. This is a very quick and easy soup to make and taste categorically delicious. Especially with French bread covered with cheese and grilled till browned.

Ingredients:
400g Red onions
1ltr/1 1/4 pints of brown stock (I prefer chicken stock)
25g Butter
10g / 1/2 oz Flour
Salt (to taste)
Pepper (to taste)
1 tbsp of Thyme
1-2 cloves of Garlic (dependant on your taste)

Bread Pan

This will make a medium size pot of soup (4 -5 bowls)

1st chop and dice your onions and garlic
2nd add butter to pan and melt, once butter is melted add onions and garlic and stir till well browned
3rd add flour to the pan and stir until browned
4rth add boiling water to chicken cubes, stir and add to pan slowly
5th once added take to the boil
6th when at the boil add thyme, salt and pepper (you can also add a bay leave but remember to take out before serving)
7th leave soup to simmer at a low heat for 20mins

Your soup is now ready to eat. Enjoy!
