Ingredients

  • 2 medium yellow onions
  • 3 tablespoons of olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon of brandy
  • 4 cups of low-salt beef stock
  • pepper to taste
  • 1 tablespoon of soy sauce
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons of beef base
  • parmesan cheese
  • baguette cut to fit ramekin

Method

  • Preheat oven to 450A°F. Put onions in a 12" nonstick skillet. Pour the olive oil over the onions. Cook the onions on high heat, stirring constantly, until soft and caramelized(about 15 minutes). Remove the pan from the heat and add the brandy. Put the pan back on the heat for about a minute or until the brandy is reduced. Add the beef broth and pepper and let it simmer for about 4 minutes. Add the beef base and soy sauce and let it all mix in for 5-10 minutes on low or medium heat. Dish the soup into 4 ramekins and place on a baking sheet. Put the bread on and then the cheese. Let the cheese melt in the oven for about 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
