Vegan French Onion Soup
A classic French soup, warming, delicious and classic
Ingredients
- 6 Onions - peeled and finely sliced. I used a variety, red, white and a couple of sweet onions, but you can just use one type
- 6 cups Vegetable Stock
- 20 g Butter - vegan
- Tablespoon Olive Oil
- Seasoning
- Baguette - cut into rings
- 50 g Vegan Cheese - cheddar-style or similar, grated
Instructions
- Gently heat the olive oil and butter in a large saucepan.
- Sweat down the onions over a low heat until they are golden brown and fragrant. This could take up to an hour.
- Pour over the stock or water and bring to the boil.
- Turn heat down to a brisk simmer.
- Leave for another half an hour, ensuring it doesn’t reduce too much.
- Taste for seasoning (it will take quite a lot of salt and pepper) and pour into heatproof soup bowls.
- Bob your slices of bread on top of the soup and grate over some cheeze.
- Put under a hot grill and once bubbling and browned, serve.
Please note that where the recipe asks for milk, butter or yogurt, this refers to any plant-based version that you prefer.
