Very delicious triple onion soup
1 very large white onion, finely sliced
1 lb red onions, finely sliced
3 shallots, finely sliced
3 cloves garlic, finely sliced
1 oz butter
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 teaspoon of sugar
pinch of dried thyme
salt & pepper
1 pint good quality beef stock
1/2 pint water
3 tablespoons dry sherry
1 tablespoon brandy
few drops lemon juice
Gently fry all the onions in the oil and butter for 15 minutes. Add the garlic. Add the sugar.
Fry gently until the onions go golden brown, stirring regularly, they will reduce in size by about 3/4.
Add the thyme, beef stock, water, sherry, salt and pepper.
Bring to the boil and simmer gently for 15 minutes. Add the brandy. Simmer for 1 minute. Add lemon juice. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve hot with a slice of french bread, topped with grilled gruyere cheese, floating on the top of your soup.
