Onion Soup with Gorgonzola Toast

Stephen Ceideburg 3 lg Onions, chopped

4 Garlic cloves minced

3 tb Butter

2 tb Flour

1 t Dried thyme leaves

7 c Rich beef stock

1 tb Tomato paste

Salt and pepper to taste 2 oz Gorgonzola

4 sl French bread, toasted

Onion soup is a classic example of caramelization as a flavour enhancer. This soup gets an added flavor boost from the garnish--a slice of gorgonzola topped bread. Cook onions and garlic in a large, heavy, covered soup pot over moderate heat until they release their moisture, about 10 minutes. Add butter and cook uncovered, until onions are a rich golden brown, about 15 minutes. Add flour and thyme and cook 5 minutes

longer, stirring constantly. Add stock and tomato paste. Simmer for 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Place a 1/2-ounce slice of Gorgonzola on each piece of toast and run under the broiler for 1 minute, or until the cheese is bubbly. Ladle soup into warmed bowls and float a gorgonzola toast on top of each. PER SERVING: 370 calories, 18 g protein, 41 g carbohydrate15 g fat
