Guinness Onion Soup

In a large pot over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp and drain on a paper towel. Reduce heat to medium-low, add onions and cook slowly for about 30 minutes until they’ve completely broken down and caramelized to a light golden brown.

Add reserved bacon, garlic, thyme, bay leaves, beer and stock. Bring to a boil and simmer 15 minutes until onions are very tender. Season to taste.
