It’s been
so cold in the last days! When I go to work in the morning everything is
frozen, and when I come back home I only want to stay in all evening. If I need
to go somewhere I try to be fast in order to come back home quickly and prepare
myself a good cup of hot tea, and I am not a person too sensitive to cold!
This soup
is a winter classic which comes from France. It uses simple ingredients that
when combined and well-cooked create a delicious dish, and it’s really
comforting in cold days.
INGREDIENTS
(for 4 people)
5 or 6
medium-sized onions
50 g butter
1.5 l
chicken broth
1 tbsp.
olive oil
8 slices of
toasted French bread
150 g grated
cheese which melts well (Emmental kind)
4 eggs
INSTRUCTIONS
INSTRUCTIONS
In a large
pot melt the butter and add the onions chopped in julienne strips or in small
dices. Let cook at low heat for about 25 minutes, until the onion is golden brown.
Add the
chicken broth and let cook another 15 minutes.
Pre-heat
the oven to 200º C
Fill 4
bowls with this soup. In each bowl add a beaten egg, two slices of toasted bread
and grated cheese. You can use any kind of grated cheese you like with the
condition it melts well in the oven. If you are a cheese lover you can add more
cheese for a richer soup. You can also add the egg made poché, this is how I made
mine in the soup of the pictures I am showing you, but in other occasions I
just beat them and the soup turns out as delicious.
Place the
bowls on the higher part of your oven for about 10 minutes. Be very careful when
you take the bowls out from the oven, they will be burning hot when you touch them!
Bon
appetite.
