French Onion Soup, hold the bacon?

[ronaldo]

There was no formal discussion thread so we can hang out here until there is I suppose.

French onion soup is one of my favorite dishes to prepare and eat. I was shocked not to see a huge slab of pork belly poking out of Niall's soup bowl though.

Pretty much spot on although I do not use chicken stock or beef stock I use consomme.

One thing to note. This is generally not something would serve as a meal. It is great for a dinner soup course or with a sandwich for lunch.

I've had french onion soup numerous times before, and I've never seen it with bacon. Maybe it's a regional thing for you?

It was a joke. Up until now Niall has been unable to make food without meat. His mac n cheese had chicken and his "vegetarian" twice baked potatoes had bacon.

It is a bit odd that he didn't put a meat in his French Onion Soup after seeing how he has a hard time cooking without it. I guess he was trying to stay true to the original.

Stock is not meat. Meat has delicious flesh you can tear with your teeth. Stock is essence of meat. Well meat, bone, and some aromatics but still...
