is it French onion? Tell me your favorite easy and tasty soup
I have recipes saying to fry curry paste. How do you do that?Easiest soup?
I suppose whatever is on hand - soup.
But actually, I would say: noodle soup.
Fry a bit of Thai red curry paste. Add half onion, coarse slice, water. Boil hard. Quartered tomato. Kaffir lime leave is you got, fish sauce, 1/2 pack instant noodles.
5 to 10 minutes and you got bowl of soup for 1
Add cilantro if you got. Or bean sprouts. Maybe drop egg in it to make it more substantial
In that recipe you were questioning about it, probably in just a little oil, often coconut oil, heated up over med-low heat, and cook until aromatic, and the oil separates some. In Thai curries, where there is coconut milk used as the liquid, put the thick cream off the top of the can in the wok, and boil it down until the oil separates from it some, then add the curry paste, and "fry" the paste a couple of minutes, in the oil left in the cream.I have recipes saying to fry curry paste.

I was thinking how handy this would be, so I copied the recipe. Ever make it with chicken stock instead of beef?Actually I do have a quicky French Onion Soup.
Here is dragn's version when she can't wait for the longer...
Saute sliced red onions, preferably in unsalted butter. Minimum One per person.
Add beef broth approx 3/4 C per person.
Add a splash of Sherry or however much you want. (The heat increases the flavor of sherry).
Spoon Onions into individual bowls. Pour liquid on top. Place croutons to cover all the liquid. Place gruyere cheese on top to cover. Broil until cheese melts.
Serve with extra garlic bread and have a glass of red wine. Pepper is always welcomed in the broth.
Actually if I'm drinking white wine at the time (which I usually am) I will use that rather than sherry.
Particularly love this version as I can make it for 1 or 2 -
The only thing I sometimes don't have on hand are the red onions, but any others will do just fine.
Croutons are far more friendly to eat than a whole slice of bread on top of the soup, so difficult to spoon-chomp your way through! Messy!
hmmm, think I have to go check the cupboard for some red onions now.
