·         Onions

·         Salt

·         Sherry vinegar

·  Dark beer (we can use any type of beer but it’s recommendable to use a traditionally Irish beer)

     This soup has easy level of preparation so it is going to take us as 40 min of preparation. We must heat the olive oil in a large spoon to add the beef, then we must add the garlic, we cook this to have proper condition and we continue adding onions, salt and cook for about 5 minutes stirring often. Then we reduce the heat to low and cook for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions became totally fried.

We add the vinegar and beer but before we must reduce it by half and add the beef stock, we cook it for 10 more minutes.

We transfer the soup to individual soup bowls. We companied this delicious soup with toasted bread slices with Cheddar, a delicious and freeze beer and piping hot.
