Beer 'n Onion Soup


I love my Moo... this soup was one of the best ever onion soups I've ever made and he helped make it. You see, every now and then he "helps" in the kitchen by walking by whatever is on the stove and pouring some of the beer he's drinking, into the mix. Then he says, "see I help in the kitchen too."
Amazing soup.

Simple instructions.

1. Get a bit of oil heated up in a large pot
2. Saute about 4 slices chopped bacon. Remove it once crisped.
3. Add about 3-4 cups thinly sliced onions.
4. Add your seasonings now: about 1 tsp herbes de provence blend.
5. Once onions are nice and slimey, add about 1/2 cup blond beer.
6. Add about 5 cups beef stock.
7. Simmer soup for about 20 minutes then add back the bacon, salt and pepper to taste.
8. When ready to serve, put some crusty baguette in your (oven-safe) bowls, ladle in some soup and top with a blend of Gruyere and Mozarella cheese. Broil until cheese is bubbly.


Moolicious!
