Saint Patrick’s Day is one of my favorite holidays because I like celebrating my Irish heritage and I LOVE corned beef and cabbage. But, this year I decided to try a few new recipes for the holiday. The first one is an onion soup (another one of my favorite meals). But, this recipe calls for a little special ingredient…Guinness!
1 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
3 cloves minced garlic
4 cups thinly sliced onions
1/2 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves, chopped
1/8 cup apple cider vinegar
1 bottle Guinness beer (I used a little more than the recipe calls for but it cooks down and there is not an overpowering beer taste)

1 bottle Guinness beer (I used a little more than the recipe calls for but it cooks down and there is not an overpowering beer taste)
3 cups beef stock
3 bread, cubed and toasted (I used Flax Seed Ezekiel bread to make it a little healthier)
A few slices of Cheddar Cheese, sliced thin
