Ingredients

  1. 6 slices toasted Compliments Multigrain Bread (about 2 cm / 3/4-inch thick)
  2. 500 mL (2 cups) grated firm goat cheese
  3. 2 green onions
  4. To taste, salt and pepper
  5. 1 bay leaf
  6. 1 L (4 cups) beef stock
  7. 250 mL (1 cup) apple cider
  8. 15 mL (1 tablespoon) flour
  9. 2 garlic cloves
  10. 375 mL (1 1/2 cups) peeled Granny Smith apples cut in matchsticks
  11. 2 white onions
  12. 1 Spanish onion
  13. 15 mL (1 tablespoon) olive oil

Directions

  1. Preheat oven grill.
  2. In a saucepan, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, apples and garlic. Cook for about 3 minutes, or until onions are translucent. Sprinkle with flour and stir well. Pour in cider and bring to a boil. Cook, uncovered, for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  3. Add beef stock and the bay leaf. Season with salt and pepper. Reduce heat to low and simmer soup, covered, for 20 minutes. Pour into six ovenproof individual soup bowls. Place a slice of toasted bread on soup in each bowl. Top with grated cheese and green onions.
  4. Place soup bowls on a rimmed baking sheet. Broil under grill until cheese bubbles and is slightly browned. Serve immediately.

Aide-gourmet tip: Replace cider by red beer and goat's cheese by smoked Gouda.
