Herby Roasted French Onion Soup - The most comforting soup ever! Caramelised onions with herbs and a rich, deep flavoured stock. Great for Autumn/Winter. Also my husbands favourite soup!
Pop the onions into a pan over low heat and stir in a sprinkling of salt. Cover the pan and cook for 20 minutes until the onions have reduced by half. Check midway and add a splash of water if need be.
Stir in the oil, butter and flour and stir for 2 minutes. Add the stock, thyme and sage. Allow to come to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Cover and cook for an hour.
Season with salt and plenty of pepper.
Preheat the grill. Mix all the ingredients for the toast and spread on the toast. Ladle the soup into heatproof bowls, top with the bread and grill until the cheese is bubbling.
