Fine dining ONION SOUP at home - Not Your Classic Recipe!

[@justknow3040]

Ingredients: Onions Garlic Potatoes Double cream Fresh thyme Butter Apple cider Chicken stock Baguette Cheese (for croutons) Shallot Water Vinegar Salt Sugar Peppercorns Chili flakes Sweet green apple Lemon juice Carrot Tops (for garnish) Instructions: Prepare Onions: Slice the onions in half and then cut them into thin slices. In a pan, melt butter and add the sliced onions. Cook slowly until the onions sweat and achieve a nice brown color (approximately 20 minutes). Cheesy Croutons: Slice the baguette into thin slices. Optional: Trim the slices for better presentation. Place cheese on top of the slices and grill for a few minutes until golden and cheesy. Pickled Shallots: Peel and slice one shallot into rings. In a mixture of water, vinegar, salt, sugar, peppercorns, and chili flakes, bring it to a boil. Add the shallot slices, mix, and let it cool on the side. Soup Base: Slice a little garlic and mix it with the cooked onions. Deglaze the onions with apple cider. Add fresh thyme, salt, and reduce until half. Peel and chop a potato, then add it to the mixture. Pour in chicken stock and cook for around 15 minutes. Prepare Garnish: Cut sticks of sweet green apple. Soak the apple sticks in water with lemon juice to prevent browning. Blitz the Soup: Add cream to the soup mixture and bring it to a boil. Remove the hard parts of thyme. Use a blender to blend the soup until smooth. Adjust Consistency: Check the thickness and taste of the soup. If needed, add water and salt to achieve the desired consistency. Pass the soup through a sieve. Plating: Reheat roasted onions in the microwave for 30 seconds. Place a few spoons of roasted onions in the bowl. Add cheesy croutons on top, followed by pickled shallots and fresh apple sticks. Garnish with Carrot Tops. Pour the creamy onion soup over the ingredients. Serve: Enjoy the creamy onion soup with a delightful combination of flavors and textures.

Oh, the joy that stirs within me when I'm lost in the warmth of my kitchen! Decades have woven a tapestry of flavors and memories. From buttery scones to hearty stews, each dish is a chapter of my life, sprinkled with love and time's seasoning. The aroma of simmering sauces and the gentle sizzle of onions take me back to cherished moments. In this haven, I find solace, a timeless dance with ingredients that bring smiles. As age graces my hair with silver, the flame of my culinary passion burns brighter than ever.

[@christopherkarr1872]

Blending is a nice step, as French onion can be annoying to eat, due to bits of onion hanging from the side of the spoon. I'm not a huge fan of the broth being thickened with potato, as it gives less thickening than a roux for the same volume, meaning it dilutes the onion flavor more. That and the cider seem like odd choices, but to complement the apple garnish it's lovely. I like the fusion of two classics - vichyssoise and french onion - with a bit of freshness and tartness from the apple to balance the sweetness of the onion.

I recommend this as a sauce. I cook a mixture of sausages and black pudding, slather a thick version of this with potato mash.

Can you show us how to make super light and airy frozen chocolate mouse I had it at a very fancy restaurant before and I would love to know how to make it at home

That is Made with liquid nitrogen a la minute

[@blieu808]

[@MrMccarthycdxx]

You dont need liquid nitrogen. What you are looking for is a Semifreddo recipe. As you said it is just a chocolate mouse that is then frozen. It creates a very airy "ice cream" style dessert without the need for churning.

[@jthepickle7]

Chiogga squash, chicken broth, a little onion, one clove of garlic, salt, thyme - puree. My winter soup.

Hi chef!, Your food is amazing. One quick question. What kind of apple cider are you using?? is it apple cider vinegar? or is it an alcoholic cider? in which case....is it sweet or sour??. Thank you so much for all the work you put in your videos :)

[@ChefMajk]

not a vinegar just alcohol cider. Most of the time is sour

i definitely will try.

What is your favorite winter soup guys? 🤪

I loved all the winter soup you shared on your channel.. Hard to pick my favorite, as they all come with a twist that i like. I'd pick the small pea soup, then comes the chestnuts. The pepperbel soupe is amazing too. Yeah, basicaly all of them ^^.

Onions were the food for everyone. They were plentiful. 200 years ago, a farmer's wife would re-stoke the stove, put a large dutch oven on it and toss in lot of onions, butter and wine. I would cook for hours. This would be used for lunch, dinner and supper.

What is a good substitute for heavy cream if we don't have? Would a rue of flour/butter + milk be good?

You will make a lower quality product but it will work probably

The classic one is so good to me, that I find it hard to believe it can be improoved. Yours seems good, but I would need to taste it to be sure if it´s better than the classic. The texture of the classic is also probably better since you blended everything.

Do it at home and taste it, easy ;)

Looks delicious. Nice technique and nice presentation. The only thing to suggest is that soup is eaten with a spoon which suggests one mouthful. Your cheese bread might be better in crouton sized portion.

Is 2023...you can even cut with a spoon nowadays 🤭

[@AKAtAGG]

new sub here. wondering why you season the onions (After you add the vinegar to deglaze @ 2:58) with so much salt. does this not make it too salty as it reduces?

[@radekhegenbart]

I noticed there's no answer, so I'll try my best from what i know. Onions need a fair amount of salt in general. The generous amount here is also because of the potatoes, which absorb a lot of it as well. And then you gotta remeber he added the chicken stock which is probably also unsalted. So the amount is pretty reasonable, but for most of us normal human beings it's better to add just a little bit and add more if needed later.
