2 lg Onions, peeled
1 Garlic clove, peeled
1 oz Margarine
2 ts Tlour
15 fl Beef stock or water with
3/4 Beef stock cube
Salt and black pepper
pn Caster sugar, optional
-----TOPPING-----
2 Slices of bread or toast
2 tb Grated Gruyere, or other

Cut the onions into thin rings, then halve these so
they are easier to eat. Crush the garlic clove. Heat
the margarine in a saucepan, then add the onions and
garlic and cook steadily for about 10 minutes, or
until the onions are

golden in colour. Stir well so these do not burn. Add
the flour, blend with the onions then pour in the
stock or water. Bring the liquid to the boil add the
stock cube, if using this a little seasoning and the
sugar. Cover the pan and simmer gently for 20 to 25
minutes, or until the onions are tender. Spoon into
individual soup bowls, top with the bread or toast and
cheese. Serve at once or place under the grill for 1
to 2 minutes only to melt the cheese. Do not leave for
too long a period, otherwise the cheese becomes `
stringy'.
