Ingredients
Method
4 steps
- Step 1
Heat butter in a medium sized saucepan over medium-low heat. Add onions, garlic and thyme and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30 minutes or until soft and very lightly browned.
- Step 2
Stir in vinegar to deglaze the bottom of the saucepan. Add lentils and stock and simmer for 5-10 minutes or until lentils are cooked and soup has thickened. Remove from heat and season with salt and pepper.
- Step 3
At the same time, grill one side of the bread for 1-2 minutes until lightly golden. Sprinkle as much cheese as possible over the uncooked side, return to the grill and cook until cheese has melted.
- Step 4
Ladle soup into serving bowls and top with cheesy baguette slices, extra cheese and extra black pepper to serve.
