Onion Soup

Dinner with (vegetarian) friends: NYT onion soup, spinach gratin from Richard Olney, brownies from Nigel Slater. Everything was good. The brownies are of the sludgy, slumpy school of brownie thought. Excellent if that's your thing, though I think in the end I'm more the cakey brownie kind.

Hi Enthusiast,
This onion gratinee sounds astonishing. Can you really spread tomatoe puree or do you drop in dolops?

You just glop it on any which way. The recipe makes the construction of the soup sound far more exacting than it is; you really just layer buttered croutons with onions, cheese, and tomato, and so long as your last layer is cheese, everything will work out splendidly. This really is foolproof, and so delicious it's hard to believe how simple it is.
