Ingredients
Method
Melt the butter in a large saucepan and add the sliced onions; put a lid on the pan and sweat the onions for about 15 to 20 minutes, until they are soft but are not brown. Add the cream and mix well
Add the stock and the cider to the pan and bring to the boil before simmering for 5 to 10 minutes until the soup has thickened slightly. Season to taste with salt, pepper & sugar
Meanwhile, heat the grill to high and place the crumbled or sliced cheese on top of the toasted slices of bread; place the cheese topped croutons on a tray and place under the grill until the cheese has melted and is bubbling
Ladle the soup in warm soup bowls and place a grilled Cheddar crouton on top. Serve immediately
