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.
