Guinness And Onion Soup With Irish Cheddar Crouton Recipe

Cooking Directions

• STEP 1.In a large pot, melt the butter over medium heat and add the sliced onions. Cook until the onions are caramelized and golden brown.
• STEP 2.Add the flour to the pot and stir well to coat the onions. Cook for another minute to cook off the raw flour taste.
• STEP 3.Pour in the Guinness beer and beef broth, and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for 20-30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
• STEP 4.While the soup is simmering, preheat the oven to 350°F. Slice the baguette into thick slices and top each slice with a generous amount of grated Irish cheddar cheese.
• STEP 5.Place the cheese-topped baguette slices on a baking sheet and bake for 10-15 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• STEP 6.Ladle the soup into bowls and place a cheesy crouton on top of each bowl. Serve hot and enjoy!

Cooking Tips

• To speed up the caramelization process, add a pinch of sugar to the onions while cooking.
• For a vegetarian version, substitute vegetable broth for the beef broth.
• If you prefer a smoother soup, use an immersion blender to puree the soup before serving.

Storage and Serving

• Leftover soup can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
• Reheat the soup on the stovetop over medium heat until heated through, stirring occasionally.
• Serve the Guinness and onion soup with Irish cheddar crouton with a side of crusty bread for a complete meal.
