I'm gonna make a beautiful English
onion soup, none of this French onion soup malarkey, we're gonna go English soup
So I've got red onions, white onions, the little sort of Italian
sort of banana and cipollini type ones, slice em up, quicker the better really
otherwise you end up getting into tears
I've never done a recipe crying before [laughs] Onion soup but
with a little bit of help
from some of the other alliums, with the leeks
I'm tempted hardly even to chop the garlic up, just to squash it
Get your pan
add some oil
nice lug of oil, a little bit of butter
First thing I want to touch this pan, is some sage
and then I wanna put in
the garlic
that's a nice start
and then we bring in our onions
into there
mix that up
always cook onions with a good pinch of salt
and pepper, that is
fantastic
and I'm going to turn this down
to a medium
So twenty five minutes, just leave it that cook now
Right, have a look at this
you can see how those onions have sort of shrunk in size
and to make this into a soup, we need stock now
chicken stock is brilliant, it's about four pints of stock
to a kilo of onions, garlic and leek, erm simmer that for about ten, fifteen minutes
while that's cooking
I'm gonna get my bread and I want to cut that in half
Just get yourself a grater
and grate a whole load of cheese
bring this over here
to get a nice mixture of stock and onions
and then straight into that bowl
So I've got my soups done, I want to get my little toasties
and just ram them in like that
Worcester sauce, just a swig, I don't want this to ruin or wreck
or overtake but just a few little dribbles
sage leaves here and there you go. From here
under a grill
and let it all melt and it literally only takes a minute
Look at that
that is a proper
English onion soup
beautiful, that is the real deal. That is
English onion soup, look at that
