this English onion soup is a great
0:02
vegetarian version of the traditional
0:05
french onion soup start by melting
0:08
butter in a pan and adding three large
0:11
sliced onions a pinch of fresh thyme and
0:15
two bay leaves the herbs add a lovely
0:18
depth of flavor that you need in this
0:20
soup because we're not cooking the
0:21
onions for as long as with a french
0:23
onion soup after 20 to 25 minutes
0:27
they'll look like this add a splash of
0:29
Brandy you could use white wine but I
0:31
like the sweetness that Brandy brings
0:34
and a tablespoon of flour and give that
0:36
a good stir now go in with a liter of
0:39
vegetable stock or as I've done here a
0:43
really good stock Cube and
0:45
water it would also be really easy to
0:48
make this soup vegan if you need to by
0:50
cooking the onions in olive oil rather
0:53
than butter and by using vegan cheese on
0:55
your croutons or just using bread give
0:59
you super good stir to thicken it up a
1:01
little bring it to a simmer and at this
1:04
point you're going to want to get your
1:05
oven or Grill on high that's to cook
1:08
your lovely cheesy croutons unlike
1:11
french onion soup I don't Grill the
1:13
croutons on top of my soup um it's for a
1:17
couple of reasons it's a bit lighter um
1:20
it also makes it much better for cooking
1:22
in advance and taking in a lunch box
1:25
Grill your croutons and you're done
