You'll need
- Onions3
- Butter40g
- Stock cubes2 cubes
- Plain flour10g
- Bread4 slices
- Cheddar120g
Salt, pepper and oil from the cupboard. Amounts are for four; the app scales them for you.
Method
- Thinly slice the onions (3). Melt the butter (40g) in a big pan, add the onions with a pinch of salt and put the lid on.
- Cook on a low heat, stirring now and then, until very soft (15 min). Then take the lid off and keep cooking until deep brown and jammy (30 min). This is the bit that matters, so don't rush it.
- Stir in the flour (10g) for a minute, then add the stock cubes (2 cubes) and 1 litre of boiling water. Simmer (15 min).
- Toast the bread (4 slices), pile on the grated cheese (120g) and grill until bubbling.
- Ladle the soup into bowls and float a cheesy toast on top.
Can't find something? Doesn't matter. Swap it for something similar, it'll still be delish.
