Method
- STEP 1Brown the onion in the casserole you'll be making the soup in and brown the sliced up onion. Once softened, add the beef stock and boil until it has reduced a little. Season to taste and add half a teaspoon of whole peppercorns.
- STEP 2Ladle the soup into bowl, add some more peppercorns to each, and optionally serve topped with a bread cruton, and enjoy! So simple, isn't it?
- STEP 3About 80 calories per serving without the crutons. I served it with toasted rye bread with plenty of Flora light instead - Enjoy!
