Home made soups....

[Ells]

Anyone got a decent recipe for French onion soup? My Dad loves it (or did when he's had it in France) but whenever we've been out or something it's been disappointing. I don't eat it myself but I'd love to make him something decent if anyone can recommend.

You can draw your own conclusions about bouillon. Use quick and dirty beef stock cubes if you wish but do it properly and you are into boiling joints of beef with loadsa veggies with herbs and seasoning. Up to you.

Cheers TT I'll definitely give it a go. Usually got time for proper stock to be honest, never goes to waste. I'll report back once I've tried it

 So took a few ideas from here....Chubbs' toms, Pete's pasta....added in a few thoughts of my own, namely carrots, onion, garlic and a few red lentils, boiled up with the toms in a stock, flavoured with coriander and basil.

Gave it a whizz et voila, although I say so myself, a success. Sweet pots and celeriac next in some form

After struggling to find molasses anywhere, I recently discovered it's basically Black Treacle. I used it in a home made barbecue sauce I concocted the other week to go with some pulled pork and it was a revelation.
