Irish White Onion Soup

Serves: 6

Ingredients

• 2 Tablespoons butter
• 1 pound onions, thinly sliced
• 4 cloves of Garlic
• 2 Heaped Tablespoons flour
• 1 pinch powdered mace or nutmeg
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 Quart chicken or pork stock

• salt, to taste
• black pepper, to taste
• 2/3 Cup cream
• 2 Tablespoons grated cheese (optional)

Method

  1. Heat the butter, and when foaming add the onions and garlic…
  2. Let the onions soften, but not colour at all.
  3. Stir in the flour, mix well and cook, stirring continuously for about 1 minute; then add the nutmeg, the bay leaf and the stock.
  4. Stir all the time until it boils, and see that it is smooth.
  5. Simmer until the onions are cooked, then gradually stir in the milk and, when that boils, lift out the bay leaf.
  6. It can now be liquefied, or served as is with the cream added, and a sprinkling of grated cheese.

Some to eat now - some to freeze for later. Do not add the cream or grated cheese to the portions to be frozen.
