50: Onion soup without tears, p17

Oh yum, yum, yum, yum, this is a winner! Love french onion soup, and this is the super easy version!

Baking the onions, cut into halves, instead of chopping them up finely (hence, the tears of the title) makes it sooo easy, and gives the soup the loveliest caramelised tastiness, as well as a lovely dark, honey brown colour.
Didn't have fresh french bread, but did have a freshly baked regular loaf, which I cut into two big rounds using a cookie cutter, covered in grated Emmental and grilled, before floating on top of the soup.

Will definitely do this again. Tastes much more complicated than it is...
