Add a nice lug of olive oil and a little bit of butter to the pan.

Add sage and crushed garlic to the pan.

Mix in the sliced onions with a good pinch of salt and pepper; cook on medium heat for 25 minutes.

Check the onions as they shrink in size; add chicken stock (about 4 pints for 1 kilo of onions, garlic, and leeks).

Simmer for about 10-15 minutes to combine flavors.

Combine the soup mixture into a bowl, add the toasted bread, and drizzle with Worcestershire sauce.

Place under the grill for about a minute to melt the cheese.
