Caramelized Onion Soup with Cider Syrup

CARAMELIZED ONION SOUP W/ CIDER SYRUP
www.RecipeGirl.com

2 lbs (about 5 medium) yellow onions
2 Tbs unsalted butter
2 Tbs olive oil
3 cups beef broth
4 cups fresh apple cider
1 bunch fresh thyme
½ tsp granulated sugar
6 Tbs freshly grated Parmigiano Reggiano

1. Peel onions and cut them in half through the root end. Place flat end on cutting board. Cut into very thin slices, less than 1/8-inch thick.

2. Heat butter and oil in a large heavy pot with a cover until butter is melted. Add onions and cook over high heat, stirring frequently, until they soften and get very dark brown (some will blacken), about 20 minutes. Add broth and 2 cups cider and bring to a rapid boil.

3. Lower heat, add 5 long thyme sprigs, sugar, and salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Cook, covered, for 30 minutes over medium heat, stirring often.

4. Meanwhile, put remaining 2 cups cider in a small saucepan and bring to a boil. Continue to cook over high heat until cider is reduced to 1/3 cup, about 20 minutes.

5. Remove thyme sprigs from soup and transfer soup to bowl of a food processor. Process until very smooth; this should take several minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste and transfer soup to 6 warm soup bowls. Drizzle each with cider syrup and garnish with fresh thyme leaves and a sprinkling of cheese.

Servings: 6

Cooking Tips
