I had this as a canapé at the wedding i wrote about earlier on my blog, i thought i would have a go at making it. 

Here is the recipe.

Serves 4

1kg Brown Onions

6 sprigs of thyme

100 g Salted Butter

100 ml Dry White Wine

100 ml Double Cream

1.      Peel and chop the onions

2.      Add butter ,onions and thyme to pan and sweat until onions are soft but not coloured (around 15 minutes)

3.      Add chicken stock and wine to pan and simmer gently for another 10 minutes.

4.      Remove sprigs of thyme

5.      Blitz with hand blender until smooth

6.      Pass through a sieve

7.      Return mixture to pan and thicken with corn flour if necessary.

There is a bit of work involved in making this but the results are fantastic, you will end up with a rich velvety soup packed with flavour,
