GLORIOUS FRENCH SOUP
Boil the kettle. Place a large pot over medium-high heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter. Fry all the sliced Onions for 12-15 minutes until softened and caramelized, stirring occasionally. When the onions are fully caramelized, add in the sliced mushrooms, grated garlic, picked thyme and white wine. Cook for 3-5 minutes until the wine has evaporated, shifting occasionally. Dilute the Vegetable Stock with 400ml boiling water.
UMAMINESS & CREAMY CANNELLINI
Turn the oven to the highest temperature setting or on to the grill. In a blender, add ⅓ of the Onion mixture, the drained Cannellini Beans and ½ of the diluted stock. Pulse until smooth. Return to the pot with the remaining onion mixture and mix until fully combined. Stir the bay leaf, remaining diluted Vegetable Stock, and the Mushroom Soy Sauce through the soup and simmer for 5-7 minutes until slightly thickened. Season to taste.
TOAST THOSE BAGUETTES
Place baguette halves on a roasting tray, cut side up, and top evenly with grated gruberg. Grill on the top rack of the oven for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Watch carefully – it can burn quickly!
BON APPÉTIT!
Ladle the french Onion soup into a bowl, sprinkle over the chopped Fresh Parsley, and serve with cheesy gruberg baguette slices. Bon appétit, mon chéris!
