Recipe Introduction
Out of the Greek recipes I've researched and cooked, this greek recipe is one of my favourites. This traditional Greek recipe is from Crete originally, although is has been adapted throughout the Greek islands.
This soup has a slightly sweet flavour, because of the browning of the onions and it's fabulously warming on a wet or cloudy day.
List of Ingredients
Kremmydosoupa Me Tyri (Onion Soup with Cheese)
4 Medium sized onions sliced thinly
2 tablespoons of flour
100grams fresh butter or buttermilk
1 large cup of meat stock
half litre hot milk
half litre hot water
half cup grated cheese
10 thin slices of lightly toasted bread
Salt and pepper to season
chopped parsley (optional)
Recipe
Brown the onions, in the butter, stirring with a wooden spoon,careful not to burn them.
Stir in the flour and fry until golden brown.
At the meat stock, salt and pepper to taste and cook over a moderate heat for 5-8 minutes.
Mix the milk with the water and add the mixture in the pot slowly stirring at the same time.
Cook for another 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to make sure it does not burn on the bottom of the pan.
Arrange some of the toasted bread with some melted cheese on top into soup dishes and poor the soup over, the other cheese toasts can go on top of the soup and then grilled until golden.
Some chopped parsley may be added for decoration.
