This Baked Onion Soup is perhaps the best soup I have ever tasted. It is absolutely delicious and as soon as the weather cools, never far away from my thoughts. Everything about it floats my chilly weather boat from the taste to the texture, to the colour, it is just so good.
Baked Onion and Garlic Soup
Due to the removal of my wisdom teeth the saddlebags have lifted a little these past couple of weeks as my intake has become drastically reduced. With only being able to nibble I have had to turn away from most of my comfort foods. A friend who has also had her wisdom teeth removed advised me of this most positive silver lining and encouraged me to seize the opportunity to lose weight. So it has sent me searching for soup recipes that are delicious and comforting as I still hanker for some Autumnal comfort food to lift the mood…..and I have found it. In fact I would say that it has all been worth it to find this incredible Onion Soup. There is something so special about it I would not hesitate to award a Homemade Michelin Star here. It tastes like something a posh restaurant would serve and it comes right out of your own baking tray…..it is sensational.

As the nights close in and the weather drastically chills I think we all feel the need for a warm house and slippers. This Baked Onion Soup is just that in a bowl. It is a juxtaposition of a soup. It is a taste sensation but in a very quiet way. It’s flavours are large but gentle. A kind of loving cuddle from a giant and who could ever say no to that? It is soft, so velvety and perfect for a Xmas or Sunday Lunch starter. I think it is my favourite soup ever. It just has to be. Try pairing it with these Garlic Rolls or warm Cheese Scones for a real treat. Here is another very simple but incredible soup made in exactly the same easy way – Celeriac Soup.
