Shallot & Saffron Soup

Tweet


Directions
Step 1

Pre-heat oven to 180oC. Place the whole and unpeeled shallots in a single layer on an oven tray. Roast in the oven for 1 hour until the shallots are very soft inside.

Step 2

Heat the butter and oil in a large , heavy based pot. Add the onions and garlic and cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Once the onions are soft and translucent, sprinkle in the sugar. Reduce the heat and continue cooking for at least 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onions caramelise.

Step 3

Stir in the white wine, saffron infusion, stock and bay leaves. Bring to the boil, reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 15 minutes.

Step 4

When the shallots are cooked, leave to cool for 5 minutes, then squeeze them out of the skins. Add to the soup and continue to simmer for at least 15 minutes.

Step 5

Meanwhile, preheat a grill and toast the bread slices lightly on each side. Just before serving, sprinkle each with the grated cheese and grill for 3 minutes or until melted.

Step 6

Remove the bay leaves and season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. Ladle into serving bowls and serve with cheese toast and fresh herbs.
