After a friend and I had a lovely onion soup in a French Cafe in Weimar, Germany in the summer I was determined to create my own version of the soup so that I could enjoy it at home too. I was so happy with my first effort that I wrote the recipe down straight away.
Ingredients:
2 onions (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (chopped finely – or crushed if you have a garlic crusher)
1 tsp rosemary
1 tsp thyme
2 or 3 tsp gravy granules
Approx 3/4 pint boiling water
1 tsp soft brown sugar
- Fry the onions and garlic with the herbs in a little oil until the onions go soft (at least 3 mins).
- While the onions are cooking boil the water and mix with gravy granules and sugar.
- Leave the gravy to stand.
- Pour the gravy over the onions and simmer gently for 15-20 mins.
- Add more water if soup becomes too thick for your liking.
