 We have a bucket full of onions. Well it was full but we have been using them

Have to be used...French Onion Soup methinks 

There a nice lamb bone from last nights roast and after stripping the meat off...(nothing better than cold meat sandwiches)

I popped the bone into a large pot add some aromatics and

Voila Lamb stock

So I peeled...with a few tears...some onions 

Sliced them and popped into a pot with some butter

Nice slow cook about 30 minutes and they are soft, sweet and delicious 

Don’t forget to stir them regularly 

Don’t want any burnt bits

Caramelised but not burnt


Add a dash of white wine and leave to simmer for about 10 mins

And Voila 

Lunch is served 

The traditional way to serve French Onion soup is with a cheese toasted crouton on top but I’m happy with a little chopped parsley 

And a cold lamb sandwich on plastic white bread


Perfect
