French Onion Soup

Ingredients

6 cups vegetable broth (from stock)

4 cups thinly sliced red onions

2 cups thinly sliced yellow onion

4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (or vegan butter)

2 tsp coconut sugar(or sweetener of your choice)

1 cup red wine

1 cup unbleached flour

1 tbsp minced garlic

1 cup grated vegan cheese (optional)

French baguette or croutons (sliced and toasted)

Seasoning & herbs

4 bay leaf (to be removed later)

2 pinches sea salt granules

2 tsp ground black pepper

2 tsp dried oregano (optional)

2 tsp dried coriander (optional)

Instructions

In a deep pot, melt the butter (or heat oil) over medium heat. Sauté onions (chopped into long strips) and sugar together until onions are translucent and have caramelised nicely, do this for about 15 minutes while stirring every so often to avoid onions sticking and burning.

Now, add the minced garlic and dried herbs and continue cooking for a further 5 minutes. Then, stir the flour into the onions and cook for a further minute before pouring in the red wine. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 10 minutes, or until the wine has evaporated.

Add the vegetable broth, bay leaves and seasoning. Turn heat up to bring to a boil and turn right down to gently simmer for a further 10 minutes.

Remove from heat and serve hot. Top the onion soup with croutons or a slice of toasted baguette smothered with vegan cheese of your liking (optional).
