Based on french onion soup. This is more detailed for my food processor which does not cook.

French onion soup for 2 people

Ingredients

• 10ml olive oil.
• 17g butter.
• ½ - 1ml sugar.
• 2 large onions.
• 35ml vermouth.
• 8ml cognac.
• 350ml beef stock (I love Knorr's beef stock pot for this).
• ½ - 1ml mustard.
• 8g gruyère or extra matured cheddar cheese (grated, blade #3) (optional).

Directions

1. Blade #4 and slice onions. This is the thin slicer blade, so if doing by hand aim for thin slices.
2. Heat oil, butter and sugar and then add onions.
3. Cook until caramalised.
4. Add booze cook for 10 minutes or until liquid has evaporated.
5. Add beef stock and mustard, then cook for 45 minutes. On an induction hub, turn down the heat every 15 minutes to maintain the simmer.
6. Serve.
7. Add grated gruyere or cheddar after serving.

Traditionally, you would have a red wine. I love this with a heavy gin and tonic, for a cozy evening in.
