Nu pot sa explic cam cat de buuuuna e o supa cu consistenta mai groasa in zilele racoroase. Iar asta e absolut dementiala. Fara preambul, am purces cam asa: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I cannot possibly explain how good one feels after a good thick soup on a chilly day. And this one is absolutely fabulous. No further ado, here it goes: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMAR: Ce am folosit pentru 4 portii (cam doua boluri de caciula): 1/2 kg ceapa alba 500ml apa (voi puteti pune supa de legume sau de vita) cca. 50 g unt o bagheta multicereale mica (cca. 20 cm lungime) un catel de usturoi micut si dragut parmezan, preferabil in calup sare, piper, ulei de masline si cimbru Ce-am gresit: Pai nu am avut supa de legume sau de vita. Sunt convinsa ca ar fi contribuit la gust si mai mult. Ce fac mai bun sau mai bine data viitoare: Folosesc supa de legume in loc de apa. De unde am reteta: De aici. Am apreciat sfatul de a nu ceda in fata cantitatii de ceapa, care poate parea muuult mai mult decat ar fi necesar. Realitatea este ca se 'topeste' vazand cu ochii, in cele 45 de minute in care sta in oala. Dar am injumatatit cantitatile. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- SUMMARY What I used for 4 servings (about 2 soup bowls per person): half a kg of plain, white onions 500ml water about 50g butter one small multicereal baguette (20cm long) one small garlic clove some parmesan, preferably from one piece salt, pepper, olive oil and thyme What I did wrong: I didn't have any vegetables soup. I am sure it would have contributted to the taste a lot more. What I need to do better or tastier the next time: I will try it again with veggie soup instead of water. How I came across this recipe: This is from here. I really apreciated the advise to not cave in at the sight of so much chopped onion (it will seem like a loot, but ignore it and follow the recipe). the onion will actually start to 'melt' slowly over the 45 minutes it will take for it to slowly cook. But I used half of the onion and water amounts. Am pornit cu curatatul si tocatul cepelor; operatiune dureroasa, plina de lacrimi dar - credeti-ma - merita din plin. Cred ca am nimerit cele mai iuti cepe de pe planeta. Sau, cel putin, din Bucuresti. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I started off with peeling and Julien-chopping my onions. This task is the most painful and tearful of all but, trust me, it will be all worth it. I must have gotten the absolute hottest onions on the planet. Or at the very least, on Bucharest. Am ales o oala cu fund dublu, non-stick. Si biiine am mai facut, caci ceapa trebuie sa se perpeleasca vreo 45 de minute cel putin, sau pana cand devine maronie. Puteti remarca 'evolutia cepei' in culoare si volum. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- I chose a non-stick thick pot and I congratulated myself for this choice. The onion needs to sit for about 45 minutes at the very least, or for until it turns golden-brown. You can see how the onion got more and more brown and started slowly but surely 'dissapearing' in the pot. Cata vreme ceapa sta sa frumusel in oala si mai amestecam din cand in cand, era cazul sa ma apuc de crutoane. Am taiat bagheta oblic, relativ gros, cam de un deget. Am stropit cu ulei de masline, le-am tratat cu putin usturoi similar ca si la bruschete, am pus putin cimbru si deaspura parmezan taia cu cutitul de legume, in suvite late. Am dat la cuptor pana au devenit aurii. Au devenit crocante, chiar tari dupa unele standarde, insa asta e (culmea) un lucru bun. Crutonul se pune in supa si e util sa nu se inmoaie chiar imediat si sa nu se 'piarda' prin supa si asa groasa. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- While my onions stood still in the pot and I occasionally gave them a stir, it was right about time to start on the croutons. I cut my baguette on oblique, finger thick slices. I then sprinkled some olive oil, gave them a rub with some garlic like I would do to bruchetta; I then added some thyme and the parmesan I peeled with the help of a vegetables' knife. I popped them in the oven until they got golden and crunchy - even hard, for some standards; weirdly enough, this is a good thing, this time. Because the croutons will have to sit in the soup and it is best not to have them soften too fast so that they do not 'dissapear' in the soup, which is thick enough as it is. Supa de ceapa e minunata, dar nu poate satura pe deplin un Carnivor. Asa ca am pregatit niste cartofi spalati bine, pusi cu tot cu coaja in folie de aluminiu cu sare, piper, unt si rozmarin; lasati vreo 30 de minute in cuptorul la cea mai mare treapta. Am fript un piept de pui la grill iar cand cartofii au fost gata, i-am curatat, taiat rustic si dati printr-o emulsie pregatita din ulei de masline, usturoi si rozmarin. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- The onion soup is amazing, however it cannot fully fill the stomach of a Carnivor. So I prepared some non-peeled but thoroughly washed potatoes, placed in aluminum foil with butter, salt&pepper and some rosemary; I left them to cook in the oven at highest speed for about 15 minutes and I the mean time I grilled a chicken breast. When the potatoes were ready, I peeled them off, diced in big chunks and soaked them into a sauce made with olive oil, rosemary, garlic, salt&pepper. A fost buuun tare de tot. Iar senzatia unei supe fierbinti cand afara este frig e minunata. Dar insist - nu ma credeti pe cuvant - incercati, mai bine. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- It was oh-soo-good! And the greatest thing is having a hot soup when outside is really chilly. But by all means - do not believe me. Better it is to try it on your own. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
