BISTRO ONION SOUP WITH LEEKS
This version of French Onion Soup is freshened by the green sweetness of leeks, and the slight heat of chili flakes. If the combination of caramelized onion, brandy and cheese doesn't chase away the blues on those lingering grey days then nothing will. From the LCBO magazine.

Steps:
- Heat butter in a soup pot with a wide bottom over medium heat. Add bacon and sauté for 3 minutes or until bacon is cooked but not crisp. Add sliced onion, shallots and chili flakes and sauté for 25 minutes, stirring occasionally, or until onions are golden.
- Add leeks and garlic and sauté for 10 minutes or until leeks are very soft. Add wine, bring to a boil and simmer, scraping the bottom of the pan to incorporate any browned bits, until onions are just saucy, about 3 minutes.
- Add chicken stock, bring to a boil, then turn heat to medium-low and simmer until flavours have come together, about 8 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- While soup is simmering, make large croutons. Heat broiler or grill to high. Brush both sides of baguette slices with olive oil and broil or grill for 1 minute per side or until golden.
- When you are ready to serve the soup, preheat broiler to high, and top each crouton with 1 tablespoon (25 mL) of grated cheese. Place baguette slices on a baking sheet, and broil for 1 minute, watching carefully, or until cheese is melted and bubbling.
- Place soup in bowls, stir 1 tsp (5 mL) of brandy into each serving if desired, and top with a Gruyère baguette slice.

Steps:
- Trim the leeks down to the tender white and green parts, slice them in half lengthwise, and let them sit in a bowl of cold water for 5-10 minutes to let any residual grit float out of their layers and into the bottom of the bowl.
- Peel the onions, lop off the root and stem ends, then slice them in half lengthwise. Cut the onions into thin strips by slicing with the grain of the onion. I don't like overly long, stringy pieces of onion in my soup, so if I'm working with one particularly large onion, I'll often halve the strips again so they're no more than 3 inches long.
- Lift the leeks out of the cold water (don't pour them into a strainer; that'll just wash them with the grit you removed) and roughly chop them into 1/2-inch bits.
- Peel and thinly slice the garlic.
- Melt the butter in a Dutch oven or heavy-bottomed saucepan over medium heat.
- Add the onions, leeks, garlic, minced sage, and salt. Stir to combine and cover halfway with a pan lid so steam can escape.
- Cook, stirring frequently, for about 45 minutes. The leeks and onions will soften completely and deepen in color; if they start to caramelize too quickly, lower the heat.
- Remove the lid and cook the vegetables for 10 minutes more to let some of the moisture burn off.
- Add the broth and bring to a simmer.
- Cook for 15-20 minutes (but hey, you could let it go for a half hour or more if you want it the liquid to reduce and for it to be more of a leek stew mess. I'm not judging.)
- While the soup simmers, slice the baguette into rounds at least 1/2 inch thick and determine how many you'll need to cover the diameter of your soup bowl.
- Toast the baguette rounds until golden and crispy.
- Ladle the soup into the oven-safe bowls and top with the toasted rounds.
- Top each with a healthy handful of Gruyère and broil until the cheese is melted and bubbling. (Watch as it broils to make sure the toast doesn't burn!)
- Garnish with mini sage leaves, if desired, and serve immediately.

Steps:
- Wash sliced leeks in a large bowl of cold water, agitating them, then lift out and drain well in a colander.
- Cook leeks, onion, carrot, celery, salt, and pepper in 4 tablespoons butter in a 5- to 6-quart heavy pot over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until softened, about 8 minutes. Peel potato and cut into 1/2-inch cubes, then add to onion mixture along with wine, stock, water, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer, partially covered, until vegetables are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Stir in parsley and simmer soup, uncovered, 5 minutes. Discard bay leaf and keep soup at a bare simmer.
- Melt remaining 4 tablespoons butter in a 1-quart heavy saucepan over moderate heat, then add flour and cook roux, whisking, until golden, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and add 2 cups simmering stock (from soup), whisking vigorously (mixture will be thick), then whisk mixture into remaining soup and return to a simmer, whisking.
- Blend soup in 4 batches in a blender until smooth (use caution when blending hot liquids), about 1 minute per batch, transferring to a 3- to 4-quart saucepan. Reheat if necessary, then season with salt and pepper.
