    French Onion soup with a kick

    Tried something I haven't made for ages tonight - French onion soup with some improv

    Ingredients
    Margarine
    7 or 8 onions -stronger the better (red onions would be cool )
    3 beef OXO cubes in 700ml boiling water
    Red or white wine
    Tabasco to taste - the kick!
    Herbs
    Salt/Pepper

    Method
    Add the marg to a large pan - drop in the onions on a medium heat and brown.
    Add the beef stock, good smidgen of red wine (be generous , add all the other ingredients and anything else you have lying about!
    Cook for about 30 mins - don't let the onions get too soft

    Toast some crusty bread with cheese on top

    Enjoy!

    Eye popping good!

    Sounds good, but I'm not a great fan of FRS, dunno why !

    Any other soup and I'm up for it, but onion - for me, at least - is in the same league as Braaaaan Windsor.

    sorry
    Cheers, David

    Had it in a French Mountain restaurant once. When it was served you could not see any liquid just a bowl full of perfectly cooked onions and a hooomungous crouton. Mind you it cost about a tenner!
