[fleetfootmike]

Our kitchen smells heavenly. Anne's cooking onion soup from James Martin's recipe book....

You will need
25g (1oz) butter
6 white onions, peeled and chopped
2 cloves of garlic
8g (1/3 oz) plain flour
175ml (6 fl oz, 3/4 cup) white wine
600 ml (1 UK pint, 2 1/2 cups) vegetable or chicken stock
200 ml (7 fl oz, just under a cup) double cream
110g (4oz) grated strong Cheddar (proper cheese, please, American readers)
20g (3/4 oz) chopped chives
salt and pepper

Melt butter, in large pan over medium heat. Add onions, garlic, sauté for 2 mins without brownng.
Stir in flour, pour in wine and stock. Bring to boil, stir, simmer for 6-8 mins.
Add cream, purée with hand held blender.
Return to pan, heat through gently. Season with salt and pepper, serve with cheese and chives sprinkled on top.

Sounds yummy. I just dumped about 200ml double cream left over from cooking quiche. :-( Mind you, since it was left over from the weekend before last I doubt it would have made nice soup.

Assuming I have the energy tonight I'm having a Nigella evening, making her millionaires shortbread.

Are you sure there isn't a typo in there? It's a James Martin recipe, so there should be about a pound of butter and double the cream... ;)
