Number Of Ingredients 10

12 thin slices bacon (about 1/2 pound)
1 1/2 pounds each white, yellow, and red onions, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 piece (1 ounce) fresh ginger, peeled and finely julienned (1/3 cup)
1 1/2 pounds shallots, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons very thinly sliced fresh sage leaves, plus leaves for garnish
2 quarts Dark Chicken Stock
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 baguette, halved lengthwise
Olive oil, for brushing
3 ounces fresh goat cheese

Steps:

  • In a large high-sided skillet, cook bacon over medium heat, turning occasionally, until crisp, about 10 minutes. Transfer bacon to a paper-towel-lined plate to drain. Pour off all but 1 1/2 tablespoons fat; reserve for another use.
  • Add onions and ginger to skillet; cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, 30 minutes. Add shallots and sage. Continue cooking, stirring occasionally as onions reduce, until they are very soft and caramelized, about 1 hour. (Add a few tablespoons stock or water if onions start to stick to skillet.)
  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Pour stock into skillet, and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to a simmer, and cook 15 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Meanwhile, cut each bread half diagonally into six 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Brush with oil; season with salt and pepper. Arrange on a baking sheet, and toast in oven until golden, about 20 minutes.
  • Spread toasts with goat cheese; top with a bacon slice. Divide soup among six bowls; garnish with sage leaves, and serve each with two toasts on the side.

I'm not sure about this recipe. It seems like there are a lot of ingredients and it might be too complicated to make.

I'm not a fan of goat cheese, so I used cheddar cheese instead. The soup was still very good.

This soup is way too sweet for my taste. I think it would be better with less sugar or none at all.

I'm not sure what I was expecting, but this soup was not it. It's very bland and the goat cheese toasts didn't help much. I won't be making this again.

This soup is a great way to use up leftover onions. It's also a very affordable dish to make.

I was pleasantly surprised by how much I enjoyed this soup. I'm not usually a big fan of onion soup, but this one is different. The ginger adds a nice touch of flavor, and the goat cheese toasts are a great addition.

This soup is a delicious and unique take on a classic. The combination of four different types of onions creates a deep and flavorful broth, while the ginger adds a touch of warmth and spice. The goat cheese toasts are the perfect accompaniment, addi
