LET’S START THE SOUP
Preheat the oven to 200°C. Place a pan over medium heat with a drizzle of oil and a knob of butter (optional). When hot, fry the sliced onion until caramelised, 8-10 minutes (shifting occasionally). Mix through the flour and grated garlic and cook out, 2-3 minutes (shifting constantly). Pour in the sake and simmer until almost evaporated, 2-3 minutes. Mix in the stock, 300ml of water, the chopped thyme (to taste), and the worcestershire sauce. Simmer until reduced and thickened slightly, 10-15 minutes (stirring occasionally). Mix through a sweetener (to taste) and lightly season. Cover and set aside.
GARLICKY CHEESY BREAD
Spread the bread slices out on a roasting tray and drizzle with oil. Sprinkle over the garlic powder and place into the oven until toasted, 4-5 minutes. Remove from the oven and top the slices evenly with the grated cheese and return to the oven until the cheese is melted, 3-5 minutes.
O LA LA, CHEF!
Dish up the sumptuous French onion soup and top with 2-3 of the cheese bread rounds. Serve the remaining bread on the side for dunking. Enjoy, Chef!
