There is no doubt that home made soups are far superior to anything you can get out of a can, even though Baxters make the best canned soups.
One of my favourites is French Onion Soup, made to a recipe given to me by my old business partner Jean-Claude Pile of Paris.
Here goes.
Slice up 4 large onions and two cloves of garlic. Sweat them until transparent in olive oil in a medium sized saucepan. Add about 1 litre of best beef stock, "Knorr Stock Pots" are also very good, you will require two of them. Top up with a litre of water.
Add a bouquet garni of bay leaf, thyme and parsley, sea salt to tast and freshly ground black pepper. Simmer until the onions are soft. It normally takes about 30 minutes.
Add a tablespoon full of Cognac Brandy and fill the flask. Consume with whole wheat bread and butter. Just the thing on a cold winter's day.
