Recipe 7 in my collagen cooking series
…and this one is pure comfort. French onion soup, slow cooked, rich, nourishing and boosted with collagen because why wouldn’t we 🖤
This is one of those meals that proves you do not need complicated food to eat well. Just time, good ingredients and a bit of patience.
I used around 10 onions and slowly sweated them down in homemade butter until they were soft, sweet and golden. This is where all the flavour comes from, do not rush this bit. Once browned, I added garlic, a tablespoon of flour and cooked it out for a couple of minutes. Then in went a splash of port, cooked down for around 5 minutes, followed by beef stock, 16g of Vigor Collagen, salt, pepper and thyme. I let it gently simmer for 30 minutes until the onions were melt in your mouth soft.
Served with sliced cheddar on top and homemade sourdough on the side because life is about balance.
Per serving, soup plus cheese, excluding bread
