Categories     Lunch, Main course

Total Time 1 hours 10 minutes

Prep Time 15 minutes

Cook Time 55 minutes

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 10

50g butter
1 tbsp olive oil
1kg onions, halved and thinly sliced
1 tsp sugar
4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 tbsp plain flour
250ml dry white wine
1.3l hot strongly-flavoured beef stock
4-8 slices baguette (depending on size)
140g gruyère, finely grated

Steps:

  • Melt the butter with the olive oil in a large heavy-based pan. Add the onions and fry with the lid on for 10 mins until soft.
  • Sprinkle in the sugar and cook for 20 mins more, stirring frequently, until caramelised. The onions should be really golden, full of flavour and soft when pinched between your fingers. Take care towards the end to ensure that they don’t burn.
  • Add the garlic cloves for the final few minutes of the onions’ cooking time, then sprinkle in the plain flour and stir well.
  • Increase the heat and keep stirring as you gradually add the wine, followed by the beef stock. Cover and simmer for 15-20 mins.
  • To serve, turn on the grill, and toast the bread. Ladle the soup into heatproof bowls.
  • Put a slice or two of toast on top of the bowls of soup, and pile on the gruyère. Grill until melted. Alternatively, you can cook the toasts under the grill, then add them to the soup to serve.

VEGETARIAN FRENCH ONION SOUP RECIPE | ALLRECIPES



Vegetarian French Onion Soup Recipe | Allrecipes image

Most French onion soup recipes call for beef stock, but substituting mushroom broth instead creates a surprisingly rich soup, full on flavor - without the meat. Could become a staple recipe in vegetarian or meat-loving households! A long cooking time and savory ingredients mean this soup is pretty darn rich. Add in the toasted baguette slices and all that gooey Gruyere... this soup is definitely the main course. Serve alongside a crisp, green salad.

Total Time 2 hours 30 minutes

Prep Time 20 minutes

Cook Time 2 hours 10 minutes

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 18

2 tablespoons salted butter
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 large red onions, thinly sliced
2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons kosher salt
1 teaspoon white sugar
4 cups mushroom broth (such as Pacific Foods™)
⅔ cup fino dry sherry
1 tablespoon vegan Worcestershire sauce (such as The Wizard's)
2 teaspoons dried parsley
2 teaspoons herbes de Provence
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1 (1 ounce) piece Parmesan cheese rind
salt and ground black pepper to taste
8 French baguette slices
¾ cup grated Gruyere cheese
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Steps:

  • Melt butter and olive oil in a pot over medium heat. Add red onions and sweet onions; sprinkle with kosher salt and sugar. Cook, stirring frequently, until onions are very tender and caramelized, about 45 minutes.
  • Pour mushroom broth, sherry, Worcestershire sauce, parsley, herbes de Provence, and bay leaves into onion mixture. Bring to a simmer and cook over medium-low heat for 45 to 60 minutes.
  • Reduce heat to low and remove bay leaves. Pour balsamic vinegar into soup and adjust seasoning. Mix well.
  • Place Parmesan cheese rind in the center of the pot and submerge, but do not stir. Cook soup for an additional 20 minutes.
  • Set an oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source and preheat the oven's broiler.
  • Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet.
  • Broil bread slices in the preheated oven for 2 to 3 minutes per side. Remove from the oven and set aside.
  • Carefully remove cheese rind from the pot and discard.
  • Fill 4 oven-safe bowls evenly with soup and sprinkle each with a light layer of grated Gruyere cheese and Parmesan cheese. Top each with 2 bread slices and sprinkle each with remaining Gruyere cheese and Parmesan cheese. Place bowls on a baking sheet.
  • Broil soup in the preheated oven until cheese is browned and bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes.
