My ex-flatmate and friend Cat used to make brown onion soup on a cold winter night. It was so lovely to come home to caramelising onions and sweet balsamic; such a comforting aroma which made the house feel warm and homely.
By looking just at the ingredients, it may look like a recipe from the famine, but the taste is refined and dignified.
Before adding the stock, the onions can be cooled and refrigerated for pizza, tarts, quiche etc.
