Onion And Black Garlic Soup With Cider

 

Ingredients:

• 50g butter 
• 900g onions, finely sliced 
• 1 tablespoon of sugar 
• 3 sprigs of fresh thyme 
• 200 ml cider 
• 3 cloves of Bredbo black garlic – finely sliced

Melt the butter in a large pan. Add the finely sliced onions, sugar and the leaves from 3 sprigs of fresh thyme.

Add the finely sliced black garlic and stir in, season with salt and black pepper.
Pour the cider into the pan and simmer until reduced by half.
Stir in the stock and the Worcestershire sauce.

Cook for a further 20 minutes until the onions are soft and tender.
Season to taste.

Ladle into soup bowls and scatter a few croutons and a handful of Gruyere cheese over the top.
