French Onion Soup Gratinee

This French Onion Soup Gratinée recipe is perfect for adding to warming Winter menus. Easy to prepare with Koffmann's stock, it is a classic recipe with timeless appeal for customers looking for a comforting flavour. With a simple ingredients list, who can resist this bubbling, golden cheese and aromatic soup.

 

  • Heat the olive oil in a large, heavy-based saucepan over a medium flame. Add the onions and, stirring frequently to prevent burning, sauté until they reach a golden colour; this will take approximately 30 minutes.
  • Add the butter, garlic, thyme, bay leaf, salt and pepper and cook for 10 minutes. Raise the heat to high, add the white wine and boil until it has reduced by half, about 3-5 minutes. Add Koffmann chicken stock and simmer for 45 minutes.
  • Preheat the grill. Remove the thyme and bay leaf, and swirl the port into the finished soup. Ladle the soup into 6 ovenproof bowls. Fit the toasted bread into the bowls on top of the liquid and sprinkle the gruyère on to each slice.
  • Place under the grill for 3 minutes, or until the cheese melts to a crisp golden brown. Allow the soup to cool slightly, for about 3 minutes, before serving.

Ramen

Using Koffmann stocks to make ramen serves as the foundation for the dish, providing depth, richness, and umami that define a great bowl of ramen. Traditionally served piping hot, it's a go-to dish for chilly days. Its steamy broth and hearty toppings provide flavour and warmth, which can also be adapted for different seasons.

 

  • Heat the oil and butter in a large saucepan, over a medium heat, until the butter melts. Add the garlic and ginger, and fry for 1 minute, stirring often to ensure the garlic doesn’t burn. Add the Koffmann Chicken or Vegetable stock, light and dark soy sauce, sriracha, rice wine (or sherry), brown sugar, and white pepper.
  • Stir together, then add in the cooked shredded chicken breast. Turn up the heat to high, and bring to the boil, then simmer for 3 minutes to heat through the cooked chicken breast.
  • Add the instant noodles, bring back to the boil then simmer for 3 minutes, stirring a couple of times to separate the noodles. Top with sliced spring onions, soft boiled eggs & sliced carrots.
