Onion soup
I miss having the veg delivery from lovey people at Riverford, they do deliver in Bath so I'm singing back on! But we did have a lot of organic onions hanging about our pantry, so we spend our early morning making onion soup. Well there is however a bit of the problem with cooking onion soup from organic onions... these guys are so so strong!! I was weeping over the chopping board and had to give up in the end. It also took quiet a while to cook the soup... but it was delicious! Lovely really hearty. We used as a basis this this recipe from Nigel Salter ... Oh how I love his cooking show, just so pretty! However we did add some garlic, and used red wine and chicken stock. Also few dashes of balsamic vinegar were added for extra sweetness. I do think the trickiest thing was not to stir the onions, you have to let them be soft lightly brown and caramelized That's the best kind! I say...
