French Onion + Butter Bean Soup
  1. Warm the oil + butter in a large pan on medium-low heat.

  2. Once the butter has melted, add your sliced onions with a large pinch of salt.

  3. Allow to cook slowly + caramelise for around 30-40 minutes, stirring often.

  4. Add a splash of water from time to time to prevent burning.

  5. When onions are a dark brown, and have caramelised, add the minced garlic, stirring well for a minute until fragrant.

  6. Drizzle in the balsamic vinegar, stirring well + scraping any browned bits from the base of the pan.

  7. If using wine, increase the heat, then pour in + allow to cook off fully for 3-4 minutes, continuing to stir + clean the base of the pan.

  8. Pour in the butter beans + their liquid, then the bay leaves, rosemary + hot vegetable stock.

  9. Season with black pepper, bring to a boil, then lower the heat + allow to simmer for around 15-20 minutes, or until your soup has thickened.

  10. Remove the bay leaves + rosemary, pour in the cream and stir, before adding the miso paste.

  11. Check for seasoning, then ladle into bowls.

  12. Finish with good olive oil, a swirl of cream, a sprinkle of fresh parsley + a pinch of paprika if you like.

  13. Dunk with hot, buttery toast + enjoy!
