One of my favourite recipes…
To keep you busy until you’re able to visit me in the Teaching Kitchen,
try this gluten-free / dairy-free, Paleo, and/or AIP recipe that is part of my weekly repertoire.
Onion Soup
— gluten-free / Paleo / AIP —
This soup is such a comfort as the days get shorter and the weather turns cooler. Richly fragrant, onion soup is a perfect marriage of the sweetness of onion and the richness of beef stock. Serve with GF garlic and herb crackers for a little bit of crunch!
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp olive oil
- 800g onions (approx. 4 large or 6 medium)
- 4 cloves garlic, finely chopped
- 125 ml red wine*
- 2l beef stock
- 1 bay leaf
- 1 tsp thyme (or a small handful of branches in a sachet)
- salt (to taste)
*When cooking with wine, all of the alcohol will evaporate in the boiling process. As such, adding wine to the mix does not add alcohol… just unique flavours.
** Serve with GF Garlic and Herb Crackers like these, by my good friend and collaborator Jaime Hartmann at Gutsy By Nature !
- Slice onions finely ; chop garlic
- Sauté onions 30 minutes or until lightly caramelized. Add garlic, bay leaf, thyme
- Deglaze with red wine and allow to reduce 5 minutes. (The alcohol will burn off here.)
- Add stock and let simmer 30-45 minutes on low heat.
