French onion soup is a classic French soup. It's lightly bound with a little flo

INGREDIENTS

For the soup:
• 4 large onions
• 1 liter of beef stock (use homemade onion stock to make a vegetarian soup)
• 1 tbsp of flour
• butter
For the Croutons:
• 4 slices of bread
• 1 clove of garlic
• olive oil and butter

PROCEDURE

1. Slice the onions into rings and sauté them gently in the butter (don't use olive oil for this). Don't rush this, let the
onions brown very gently. If some brown bits appear on the bottom of your pan, don't worry, these are the sugars
from the onions that have caramelized. They'll dissolve when you add the stock.
2. Add the flour and stir. The flour will seem to have disappeared, but has been absorbed into the butter. This will
give the soup its characteristic slight thickness.
3. Add a quarter of the stock and stir for a while. Add another quarter of the stock and keep stirring. Repeat for the
remaining stock.

The croutons:
1. Crush and chop the garlic. Put the olive oil and butter into the pan and lightly sauté the garlic.
2. Increase the heat a little and fry the slices of bread until golden.
Serve the soup with the croutons floating in it.
