Equipment
Ingredients
- 850 g onions skins left on
- 2 cloves garlic skins left on
- 1 litre water
- 6 cubes beef OXO
- seasoning
- 2 tablespoon red wine vinegar or 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 4 60g wholemeal rolls *to be counted or used as part of your allowance
- 80 g reduced mature cheddar *to be counted or used as part of your allowance
Instructions
- Pop the oven on gas mark 4. Now put the onions and garlic in a roasting tin in the middle of the oven for 1 hour.
- Remove the garlic and set aside. Return the onions to the oven and continue to cook for another hour.
- Meanwhile, peel the garlic and put in the Morphy Richards soup maker along with all other ingredients. If you don’t have one, just use a deep based pan.
- Now the onions should be quite squishy and the skin easily peelable. Peel all the skin off and discard, then chop the onions in to chunks and put in your soup maker or blender.
- Set the soup maker to smooth. If you don’t have one, simmer for 25 minutes and blend.
- While the soup is cooking, sprinkle half the cheese on to the slices of wholemeal roll and grill until the cheese has melted.
- Serve the soup, put the wholemeal slice on top and grate over the extra cheese to melt in the soup.
