Method

  1. Heat the butter in a pan, add the onions and cook until soft and golden - it will take about 15 minutes. Increase the heat slightly, add the sugar and keep cooking for another 5-10 minutes, until the onion becomes dark golden and caramelised (stir now and again to stop it catching). Add the stock and bring to the boil. Season. Simmer for 10 minutes.
  2. Rub each baguette slice with the garlic. Mix the cheese and sage then spread on the bread. Grill until golden. Ladle the soup into bowls and pile the cheese toasts on top.

TIP

Beef stock will give you a classic French onion soup flavour, but if you want to keep things veggie use vegetable stock instead.

    A really nice easy midweek meal. I didn't have cheddar and sage so did the toasts with goats cheese and it worked nicely. Nice, easy, cheap and satisfying. I made it with the big sweet white onions, and next time i'd pehaps try it with a mix of sweet and regular onions. Also I may add a spot of balsamic.

    Tasty and filling. I used mozzarella instead of cheddar as it has half the calories.
