French Onion Soup – Vegan

Ingredients

  • 3 Large Onions sliced thin and then quartered
  • 2 Tbsp of Vegan Butter
  • 2 Tbsp of Thyme
  • 1 1/2 Tbsp of Miso Paste ( I use Cold Mountain Miso)
  • 1/3 cup of Sherry (you can sub 2-3 tsp of Apple Cider Vinegar or just leave out the Sherry)
  • 1 heaping tsp of Vegetable Bouillon Base ( I used Better than Bouillon)
  • 4 cups of Water
  • 2 -3 Slices of thick cut Bread
  • 1 1/2 cup Shredded Cheese ( I used a mix of Follow Your Heart Gouda & Mozzarella)
  • Salt & Pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. On med- low heat, saute the Onions in the Vegan Butter. You want the Onions to slowly develop color and flavor and become caramelized.
  2. Continue to cook the Onions down stirring them every so often. Be patient this entire process will take about 40 minutes.
  3. Once the Onions start to take on a little bit of color add in the Thyme, Salt & Pepper and keep cooking them down
  4. Once the Onions are a beautiful brown color, add in the Sherry, Miso paste, Vegetable Bouillon. Cook for a few minutes before adding in the water
  5. Turn up the heat slightly, cover the pot and let simmer for 20 minutes
  6. Toast or Grill the Bread and top with Cheese. Stick the bread under the broiler for about 4-5 minutes until bubbily and golden
  7. Place the Cheesey Bread in the bowl of Soup and serve
