Red Onion, Thyme & Parmesan Crust Soup

Serves:

4 - 6 people

Ingredients:

2 red onions
2 tablespoons of olive oil
Fresh thyme
1 litre of vegetable stock
2 crusts of parmesan cheese
Bread to serve (home made preferred)

Directions:

Chop the two onions and sauté with the two table spoons of olive oil and some fresh thyme.

Add 1 litre of vegetable stock and one or two crusts of Paremesan cheese.

Simmer until the onions and the parmesan crusts are soft.

At this point you can either remove the parmesan crusts and cut off the softest parts (to put back into the soup) or keep simmering the lot until the crusts are really soft (you will need to add another half a litre of water).

I usually use only the softest part and then cut the rest of the crust (which is a bit chewy) and give it to your cat. Dogs also love it!

Blend everything with an immersion blender and serve with some home made bread.
