English Onion & Leek Soup – Jamie at Home

so much time in my world I’m gonna make
a beautiful English onion soup
none of this French onion soup menarche
we’re gonna go English soup so I’ve got
red onions white onions the little sort
of Italian Tour banana and Cipollini
type ones slice them up quicker the
better really I was you end up getting
into tears I’ve never done a recipe
crying before onion soup but with a
little bit help from some of the other
aliens with the legs I’m tempted hardly
even to chop the garlic up just to
squash it
pick your pan add some oil
nice luggable a little bit of butter
first thing I want to touch this pan
it’s some sage and then I want to put in
the garlic that’s a nice start and then
we bring in our onions into there mix
that up always cook onions with a good
pinch of salt and pepper that is
fantastic and I’m going to turn this
down to a medium so 25 minutes just
leave that to cook now right have a look
at this you can see how those onions
I’ve sort of shrunk in size and to make
this into a soup we need to stock now
chicken stock is brilliant it’s about
four pints of stock to a kilo of onions
garlic and leek and swimming that from
out sort of 10 15 minutes while that’s
cooking I’m gonna get my bread and I
want to cut that in half just get
yourself a grater and grate a whole load
of cheese bring this over here
to get a nice mixture of sort of stock
and onions and then straight into that
bowl so I got my soups done I want to
get my little toasties and just ran them
in like that
Worcestershire sauce just a swig I don’t
want this to ruin or wreck or overtake
but just a few little dribbles sage
leaves here and they go from here under
a grill and let it all melt and it
literally only takes a minute
oh ho ho look at that that is a proper
English
onion soup beautiful that is the real
deal that is English onion soup look at
that
