RED ONION SOUP WITH CHEESE TOASTS



Red Onion Soup With Cheese Toasts image

Onion soup is an excellent antidote to blustery, cold weather. Jacques Pépin showed me his way when I first met him years ago in California. His admonishments: Don't overcrowd the pan or the onions won't brown. Keep the heat high but not too high, so the onions don't cook too fast and burn. Be generous with the salt and pepper. Bay leaf and thyme are essential, everything else is negotiable. A little red wine is nice, a splash of Cognac couldn't hurt. A welcome all-purpose remedy, especially at this time of year.

Time 1h30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Olive oil
3 pounds red onions, peeled, sliced 1/8-inch thick
Salt and pepper
1 cup dry red wine
2 bay leaves
1 small bunch thyme, tied with string
8 garlic cloves, roughly chopped
2 tablespoons brandy (optional)
6 slices day-old bread, lightly toasted
6 ounces grated Gruyère
1 teaspoon chopped thyme
1 tablespoon chopped sage

Steps:

  • Set 2 large, wide skillets over medium-high heat. When pans are hot, add 1 tablespoon oil and a large handful of sliced onions to each pan. Season onions with salt and pepper, then sauté, stirring occasionally, until they are a ruddy dark brown, about 10 minutes
  • Transfer onions to soup pot and return pans to stove. Pour 1/2 cup water into each pan to deglaze it, scraping with a wooden spoon to dissolve any brown bits. Pour deglazing liquid into soup pot. Wipe pans clean with paper towel and begin again with more oil and sliced onions. Continue until all onions are used. Don't crowd pans or onions won't brown sufficiently.
  • Place soup pot over high heat. Add wine, bay leaves, thyme bunch and garlic. Simmer rapidly for 5 minutes, then add 8 cups water and return to boil. Turn heat down to maintain a gentle simmer. Add 2 teaspoons salt. Cook for 45 minutes. Skim off any surface fat, taste and adjust seasoning. (May be prepared to this point up to 2 days in advance.)
  • To serve, add brandy to soup, if using, and simmer 5 minutes. Remove the thyme. Make the cheese toasts: Heat broiler. Place toasted bread on baking sheet. Mix grated cheese with chopped thyme and sage, along with a generous amount of pepper. Heap about 1 ounce of cheese mixture on each toast. Broil until cheese bubbles and browns slightly. Ladle soup into wide bowls and top with toast.

2 medium leeks, well rinsed in several changes of water and whites only finely chopped
1 cup chopped yellow onions
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
1 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme
1/2 cup Roasted Garlic, recipe follows
1/4 cup dry white wine
3 1/2 cups chicken or vegetable stock
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1/2 loaf rustic Italian bread, cut into cubes
8 thinly sliced rounds French bread
1 clove garlic, halved
1/2 cup crumbled goat cheese
1 1/2 teaspoons extra virgin olive oil
Chopped chives, garnish
5 large heads of garlic (about 3/4 pound)
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • In a large pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the pancetta and cook until the fat is rendered, about 4 minutes. Add the leeks, onions, salt, pepper, and thyme, and cook, stirring, until the vegetables are very soft but not colored, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the roasted garlic and stir well to incorporate. Add the wine, bring to a boil, and cook, stirring, until the wine is nearly all evaporated, about 3 minutes. Add the stock and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are very soft and the soup is slightly thickened, 20 to 30 minutes. Add cubes of bread to thicken, if desired, and then blend with an immersion blender. Add the cream, parsley, and lemon juice and simmer for 5 minutes. Adjust the seasoning to taste.
  • Meanwhile, preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Place the sliced bread on a baking sheet and bake on both sides until just crisp and light golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Remove from the oven. Rub one side of each with the cut garlic clove. In a small bowl, mash the cheese with the oil and spread 1 tablespoon of the mixture on top of each crouton. Return to the oven and bake until the cheese is melted, about 5 minutes.
  • To serve, ladle the soup into bowls and top each serving with 2 cheese croutons, Garnish with chopped chives and serve hot.
  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
  • Cut the top quarter from each head of garlic and place, cut side up, on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the oil lightly over the cut garlic tops, and sprinkle with the salt and pepper. Turn the garlic cut side down, and roast until the cloves are soft and golden brown, about 1 hour.
  • Remove from the oven and let sit until cool enough to handle. Squeeze each head of garlic, gently pressing with your fingers to expel the cloves into a bowl. Stir the garlic with a rubber spatula to blend thoroughly. Use as needed, or store refrigerated in an airtight container.

Yield serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 21

12 thin slices bacon (about 1/2 pound)
1 1/2 pounds each white, yellow, and red onions, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 piece (1 ounce) fresh ginger, peeled and finely julienned (1/3 cup)
1 1/2 pounds shallots, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons very thinly sliced fresh sage leaves, plus leaves for garnish
2 quarts Dark Chicken Stock (recipe follows)
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 baguette, halved lengthwise
Olive oil, for brushing
3 ounces fresh goat cheese
Dark Chicken Stock
3 pounds chicken thighs
3 pounds chicken wings
2 large Spanish onions, quartered
1 bunch carrots, trimmed and cut into 2-inch pieces
7 stalks celery, cut into 2-inch pieces
1 garlic head, halved crosswise
2 fresh or dried bay leaves
1 tablespoon whole black peppercorns
1/2 bunch fresh flat-leaf parsley
(makes 2 quarts)

Steps:

  • In a large high-sided skillet, cook the bacon over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off all but 1 1/2 tablespoons fat; reserve for another use.
  • Add the onions and ginger to the skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes. Add the shallots and sage. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally as onions reduce, until they are very soft and caramelized, about 1 hour. (Add a few tablespoons stock or water if the onions start to stick to the skillet.)
  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Pour the stock into the skillet, and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook 15 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, cut each bread half diagonally into 6 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Brush with oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet, and toast in the oven until golden, about 20 minutes.
  • Spread the toasts with goat cheese; top each with a bacon slice. Divide the soup among 6 bowls; garnish with sage leaves, and serve each with 2 toasts on the side.
  • Dark Chicken Stock
  • Preheat the oven to 450°F. Arrange the chicken pieces in a single layer in a large roasting pan. Roast, turning once halfway through, until skins are golden brown and crisp, about 1 1/2 hours. Add the onions, carrots, celery, and garlic; roast 30 minutes more. Transfer to a large stockpot; set aside.
  • Pour 1 cup water into the roasting pan; bring to a boil over high heat. Deglaze the pan, scraping up the browned bits from the bottom with a wooden spoon; pour the liquid into the pot. Add the bay leaves, peppercorns, parsley, and 3 1/2 quarts water; bring to a boil over high heat, skimming foam from surface. Reduce heat; simmer 3 hours.
  • Remove the solids from the stock; discard. Strain the stock through a fine sieve into a large bowl. Let cool completely. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until the fat has risen to surface. Skim off fat before using.
