Spicy Fried Onion Soup

Peel all onions. Chop 2 finely, and slice the other two into thin rings.

Heat oil in a frying pan until rippling . Turn down slightly and add onions. Cook until soft and starting to brown.

Meanwhile bring 6 cups of water to the boil in a large pan. Add vegetable stock and stir until melted.

Add cooked onions, bring to the boil, and turn down to a simmer. Add salt and pepper to taste.

Simmer for 10-15 minutes (you can simmer for longer if you want a stronger onion flavour).

Mix cornflour in a small bowl with a small amount of water until liquified. Add to soup and stir until soup thickens.

Serve with wholemeal bread rolls.
