Today I did a french onion soup in a bread bowl baked in the MAK.
I made some bread bowls from an italian bread recipe that we like. I used soup crocs for molds and baked them in the MAK at 400º for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes they were done.
Time to make the soup. I started off by smoking the onions for an hour using oak.
Once the onions were done getting some smoke I chopped them up and added them to a couple table spoons of EVOO and 1/2 cup of butter and sauteed them.
Once cooked down some I added a little red wine, salt and pepper and 1 teaspoon of dried thyme.
Next I added 5 cups of beef broth and let it simmer for 30 minutes.
While the soup simmered I made some croutons for the soup.
OK lets make some bowls! I cut out the center and mashed down the bread inside the bowl to help hold in the soup. I cut a cap to size from the crouton I made.
