ONION SOUP

A classic, made so much easier when you don’t have to slice the onions by hand!

4ounces (115g) Swiss or Parmesan cheese, in 1-inch (2.5cm) pieces

2pounds (900g) onions, preferably Bermuda or large yellow variety, peeled and cut flat at one end

6 to 8 slices toasted French bread, 1-inch (2.5cm) thick

Insert metal blade and turn on machine.

Drop cheese through feed tube while machine is running. Process until finely grated; reserve. You should have about 1 cup (240ml).

Insert slicing disc, put onions in feed tube and slice them, using medium pressure.*

Melt margarine with oil in heavy 4 to 6-quart (4 to 6L) sauce pan or casserole over medium heat. Add onions and salt, cover and cook very slowly over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally and watching carefully to prevent burning. Remove cover and continue cooking until onions are rich golden brown, watching carefully to prevent burning. Sprinkle with flour and stir until well blended, about 2 minutes. Add stock and bring to boil, stirring constantly. Reduce heat, partially cover

pan and simmer for 20 to 30 minutes. Adjust seasoning.

To serve soup gratineed, put slices of toasted bread in ovenproof casserole or in individual ovenproof dishes. Ladle soup over them. Sprinkle with grated cheese and a little oil or melted butter.

Bake in preheated 375°F (190°C) oven for 10 to 15 minutes, until cheese melts and forms crust. Serve immediately.

Makes 6 to 8 servings.

*If you have the optional thin (2mm) slicing disc with detachable stem, use it to prepare the onions.
