Onion Soup!

I sound horrible. I know I do. But! Onion souuuuup! If you don’t have miso in the fridge, just use a few teaspoons of soy sauce or tamari, mixed with a hefty pinch or three of cumin powder. It’ll probably taste better than just the miso.

The lovely Leah transcribed the recipe for Onion Soup. Here it is:

Dino’s Onion Soup

2.5 pounds (1kilo) of onions peeled and cut into half moons
2 tablesoons of oil
3 teaspoons of coriander powder
Freshly ground black pepper
Generous pinch of salt
2 tablespoons of Miso
Few litres of boiling water
2 tablespoons tomato sauce
Half teaspoon of turmeric powder
2 tablespoons Extra of oil
2 tablespoons plain flour
Bread for croutons
Garlic salt

Place onions and oil at the same time into a screaming hot pan then drop down to low and let it sit there for 15-20 minutes to cook through till transparent.

Turn up the heat to medium add the coriander powder, salt and pepper. Stir around and let it get dark brown in colour slowly. While that is going boil a few litres of water. Add miso to boiling water stir then turn down heat to low. Add tomato sauce and salt and pepper. Let simmer.

Once onions brown add the turmeric powder and few extra tablespoons of oil. Cook turmeric down for about a minute add flour. Turn up heat to high. Stir fast with large wooden spoon.

After 30 seconds on high heat pour in a ladle full of the hot water to the flour. Stir vigorously. Keep adding a few more ladles stir continuously. Once thick paste and boiling add the rest of the water in two amounts stirring, bring to boil then turn down to simmer for 10 minutes.


Toast the bread for croutons you can sprinkle some garlic powder on the bread before placing in the toaster to give it more flavour. Break into pieces and place in the bottom of the bowl then cover with the prepared soup.
