We are having a late dinner tonight. I decided to make a batch of onion
soup this afternoon. The soup is finished and the bread for on top has
been grilled. This is a rich full bodied soup packed full of flavour. I
grill the bread because it gives a nicer result than toasting. I'll put
the soup into oven proof bowls, top with the grilled bread and cheese then
cook in the oven until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned. I'm not
sure what kind of salad I'll serve along with the soup but right now
caesar salad sounds good.

So?

I concur with the Caeser salad. :-) It's what I would have suggested.

I love a good french onion soup!

What stock did you use? I use beef.

Sounds wonderful. I'm making Salisbury Steaks, mashed, gravy and peas. One
of Steven's favorites.

I used beef stock made with roasted beef bones. It gives the soup a
really nice richness. The original recipe called for chicken stock. I
think beef goes better with the onions. I sauteed the onions and
deglazed the pan with just a little red wine then poured that into the
soup as well. It just rounds out the flavour 🙂

I concur! I'd never use chicken stock for onion soup. :-)

The prep sounds delightful. I also pre-cook the onions in butter and
olive oil in the CI skillet.

I use a mix of red, white and yellow onions. A bit of scallion and
garlic go well too along with a hint of fresh ginger.

For wine, I'd use burgundy or merlot.

I've recently run into a chinese place that makes hot and sour soup
using a beef stock instead of chicken. My GODS that soup is good!!!!!!

I'm going to Wendy's. I've totally emptied the freezer of all leftovers and
raw materials. All I have here are dry roasted peanuts, Triscuits, three
cans of Campbell's Select soups, eggs, cranberry juice, milk, kosher dill
pickles, and three kinds of cheese.

by tomorrow, I'm gonna die.

Anyone familiar with a smallish southern chain called Jason's Deli? We
ate there last week; I was VERY excited to find their French Onion Soup
was maked as a vagetarian item. I double checked when I ordered and
they told me yes, it was veg. My taste buds didn't believe it - tasted
just the way french onion soup always has, and I know that's a beef
broth base. It was delicious, and I have a feeling it might make me a
regualr customer there.....at least while we';re having another snap of
winter!

By all means hit the drive up. I have cravings sometimes. Mine are
usually not as healthy as Wendys. I don't care what anyone says I still
like their chilli.

Jason's Deli is ok except I prefer to pretty much avoid luncheon meats...
It's quite easy to make a nice strong veggie stock so you can make your
own vegetarian onion soup. :-)

What about the cheese tho'? I s'pose Soy Kaas (a soy based "cheese"😉
might work, but it still has milk products in it.

Or just skip the cheese...
