Without using a microwave, you can reduce the cooking time by steaming the onions in a pan covered with a lid. This way, there's less dishwashing, too.
It takes 10 minutes to steam the onions in a pan covered with a lid, the same amount of time it would take to microwave.

Ingredients

4 servings
  1. For the onion soup:
  2. 2Onion (medium)
  3. 10 gramsButter
  4. 600 ml☆Water
  5. 2 tbsp☆Sake
  6. 2cubes ☆Chicken consommé cubes
  7. 1☆Salt and pepper
  8. For the baguette / garlic toast:
  9. 4cm Baguette
  10. 1 cloveGarlic
  11. 1pat Butter
  12. For the topping:
  13. 4 tbspShredded cheese
  14. 1as much (to taste) Fresh parsley

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Thinly slice the onion lengthwise. Melt the butter in a deep pan and lightly sauté the onion. Cover and simmer over medium to high heat for about 10 minutes.

  2. 2

    Uncover and sauté for 5 minutes. *Scrape the brown bits stuck to the bottom of the pan.

  3. 3

    Cook for another 5 minutes.

  4. 4

    Add the water, sake, and chicken consommé cubes (break up the cubes before adding), and cook over medium heat for 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and adjust the saltiness. The soup base is done.

  5. 5

    While the soup is still hot, transfer to heat-resistant bowls and top with the garlic bread ( see Step 7) and cheese. You can also use a lightly toasted baguette instead of garlic bread.

  6. 6

    Preheat the oven and bake at 180℃ for about 15 minutes or bake in the toaster oven for about 7 minutes. It's ready when the tops are browned. It's easier to bake in the toaster oven if you're just preparing 1 or 2 serving(s).

  7. 7

    Cut the garlic clove in half. Rub a 1 cm thick slice of baguette with the cut side of the garlic. Thinly spread butter and toast in a toaster oven.

  8. 8

    Make a large batch, and store the caramelized onions and garlic bread in the freezer for later use. (To defrost the toast, put it in the refrigerator overnight.)

  9. 9

    The reason for baking is to melt the cheese and brown the top; this could be done with either an oven or a toaster oven.

  10. 10

    The baguettes that have absorbed the soup and the melted cheese on top taste amazing! I used small slices of baguettes and put 2 in each bowl.
