Andreas Viestad's Norwegian Red Onion Soup With Port and Jarlsbe image

From Andreas Viestad, a lovely, slightly sweet, onion soup. Prep time includes cooking time because you do have to stir now and then while the onions saute.

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 red onions, cut into 1/4 inch slices
3 -4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons fresh oregano, chopped
3 bay leaves
1/3 cup port wine
1 quart chicken stock
4 slices stale bread (I used a dark pumpernickel bread which was delicious)
1 cup jarlsberg cheese, grated

Steps:

  • Heat butter over medium heat in a pot wide enough to give the onions room to saute.
  • Add onions, oregano and bay leaves and saute for twenty minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Add the port wine and cook for 2 minutes, allowing alcohol to cook off.
  • Remove bay leaves.
  • Preheat broiler.
  • Add chicken stock and bring to a boil.
  • Pour soup into individual ovenproof bowls, placing a slice of bread on top of each bowl.
  • Divide the grated Jarlsberg among the bowls.
  • Place under the broiler for three to five minutes until cheese has melted and begins to brown -- watch it to make sure cheese does not burn.
  • Enjoy!
