French Onion Soup

[Ayla]

I've never made it at all (just used the packet stuff *blush*), has anyone got a tmx recipe for it?

[judydawn]

Someone will probably come up with a proper recipe Ayla but I just had a thought that perhaps you could use caramelised onions and add some beef stock - reckon this would work?  Go to Starters & Snacks and look for the caramelised onion thread, read the lot but particularly that posted by Tenina which tells you how she does her onions.

I have made it a few times - similar to what JD said - just onions into TM bowl and a couple of seconds on speed 5, then some butter or oil and a little water and sweat at 90 degrees on speed 1 for about 20 mins from memory before adding beef stock and adjust seasonings. 

There should be a more authentic version in the French book - will check the French site also.

Has anyone tried garlic soup? This is a similar recipe, very nice, although only garlic and water, bread and eggs. Great recipe when nothing left in fridge! Its a traditional Spanish soup from centuries ago, made very cheaply!! My father loved it! If anyone is interested, I can post the recipe....

Yes please.  I love ajo blanco but a hot version with eggs sounds good.
