Cooking Instructions
- 1
The day before you want to eat this cut your rolls into 8 medium to thick slices, put on a light setting and just slightly toast them or put them into the oven and slightly pre toast them. They will be grilled the next day again so do not brown them to much, alternatively you can buy larger ready cooked crostini, next day cut the cheese to size to fit the slices of bread.
- 2
The next day, slice some cheese the same size as each slice of bread..
- 3
Layer first a slice of bread,then a slice of cheese then a slice of bread and another slice of cheese into ovenproof soup plates or bowls
- 4
Prepare you soup by making a clear stock of preference, vegetable, chicken, fish or beef. You can do this by skimming the grey foam as soon a it comes up with a very small net strainer or a ladle. This needs to be done as soon as it comes up as it first starts boiling or the soup will go cloudy. Season to your liking. Add a little sherry.
- 5
Drain the stock, carefully ladle the clear stock over the bread and cheese. Put the bowls into the oven and melt the cheese. Hope you enjoy

The bread full of soup is the best bit

Sig's German Pea Soup Sig's German Pea Soup
This is a soup Tony had taken a real liking too when he was stationed in Germany. I used to cook it once a year for him, he recently asked if I would make it for him and some friends for a sports evening. . In Germany we do not tend to flavour our soup with mint. It is best served with a homemade bread that is generously spread with butter and a ice cold pilsner

Sig's Onion soup with Brandy, #myfavouriterecipes Sig's Onion soup with Brandy, #myfavouriterecipes
beautiful onion soup, I am cooking this tomorrow . #myfavouriterecipesI love the deep caramelised taste of french onion soup , so here I have recreated this soup , it most certainly is worth the time and effort, hope you enjoy too. You can use different cheeses as I have done this time as it needed using up, if you wish. In the olden days in France the bread soaked up almost all of the liquid and it was meant to be that way. So if you want to eat it like that, more like a thick onion and cheese bread pudding then go ahead, it's awesome.
