Onion Soup with Parmigiano and Cracked Pepper image

From "The Cook and the Gardener" , a wonderful recipe that doesn't remotely resemble the -soggy raft of bread tied to a bowl with bad cheese-that many people call Onion Soup.

Time 45m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons butter
4 -5 tablespoons olive oil
8 medium onions, thinly sliced
coarse salt
5 cups chicken stock (I use a pareve mix to keep this recipe kosher)
1/2 cup freshly grated parmigiano
5 black peppercorns
3 white peppercorns
3 coriander seeds
1 pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1 clove garlic
4 slices dry crusty bread

Steps:

  • Warm the butter and 2 tbl.
  • olive oil over low heat and add onion and a bit of salt Cook slowly until the onion is meltingly soft (about 12-15 minutes).
  • Add the stock.
  • Taste and adjust seasoning.
  • Bring to a boil, then simmer for 10 minutes Meanwhile, sprinkle the cheese in the bottom of 4 soup bowls.
  • Crack the peppercorns and coriander seeds, then place them in a plastic bag and finely crush with a heavy sauceman or meat mallet Sprinkle this over the cheese along with the nutmeg.
  • Rub the garlic over the bread and brush the slices with remaining olive oil on both sides Heat a dry saute pan over medium heat until very hot and add the bread until brown on both sides Break the bread into small pieces.
  • Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with bread pieces.
