Method :

  • Melt 50 g of butter in a thick bottomed pan such as a cast iron casserole dish.When the butter is melted add the onions and mix into the butter. Cover and cook on a low heat for 10 minutes or until they are soft.
  • Add 1 tsp of soft brown sugar to the pot and combine into the onions. Cover and cook for a further 20 minutes so that the onions become slightly brown and soft. At this stage they will be packed with flavour and smelling delicious.
  • Add the rest of the ingredients, Garlic, Flour, Black pepper & olive oil to the pan and mix it all together.
  • Turn the heat up and slowly start adding the 250 ml of dry white wine mixing all of the time with a whisk, then add the beef stock and continue mixing so that the whole lot is combined.
  • Once the soup has come to a boil cover the pot again, reduce the heat to low and simmer for a further 20 minutes.
  • The soup can be served straight out of the pot or cooled and re-heated later.

Which ever way you serve this be sure to make a nice fat cruton to sit in it.
