It is another typical farmer soup. We prepare it quite a lot in my family, especially on cool autumn evenings. Soup tastes delicious and is full of vitamines. It's rich and creamy with a mild onion-Gruyere cheese flavor. Easy to make and takes just a little to prepare this delicious soup.
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 45 minutes
Ingredients:
- 600 g onion - cut in quarters
- 1005 g butter
- 1 l home made beef stock
- 1 tsp cumin
- 100 g Gruyere cheese - freshly grated
- 3 Tbsp all purpose flour
- a few slices of baguette (a long thin loaf of French bread)
- sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- 3 Tbsp 18% sour cream
Method:
1. Melt the butter on a large skillet and when it foams add onion. Keep stirring for about 10 minutes.
2. Add sea salt and pepper to the onion. Stir well and cover with the lid. If needed you can add a bit more of butter.
3. In a separate large pot, prepare a beef stock and bring it to boil.
4. Add all-purpose flour to the onion and stir well. Now you need to move the onion into the stock and cook for another 25 minutes. Add cumin and sour cream.
5. Move the soup to the blender or food processor and blend well. Once blended add pepper and salt for a good taste.
6. Pre-heat the oven to 190 C. Pour the soup into bowls. On the top of each bowl put slices of baguette and cover it with grated Gryuere cheese.
7. Insert ready soup bowls into the oven and cook for 10 minutes until cheese on the top of each melts nicely creating a nice pillow.
8. Serve hot immediately.
ENJOY!!!
