Categories     dinner

Time 1h25m

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 pounds of yellow onions (about 5 large), peeled and sliced (I cut mine in half and then slice them into half moons)
4 tablespoons of olive oil
2 tablespoons of butter (use vegan where applicable)
1 teaspoon of sugar (you can use coconut sugar here if you'd prefer)
1 ½ teaspoons of salt
4 cloves of garlic, minced
8 cups of vegetable broth*
1/2 cup of red wine**
1 tablespoon of Worcestershire***
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon of fresh thyme (can use dried if desired)
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
4 slices of French bread (or something similar), cut into thick slices
1 cup of Gruyere cheese, freshly grated (optional or sub for vegan cheese)

Steps:

  • Deglaze the pot by stirring in the red wine and use a wooden spoon to scrap any bits and flavor from the sides and bottom of the pot. Stir in the veggie broth, worchestire sauce, bay leaves, thyme, and black pepper. Bring the mixture to a simmer, cover, and cook for 30 minutes. Stir every few minutes.
  • Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees F. Brush or spray the slices of bread with oil or cooking spray and place on a baking sheet. Toast for 10 minutes, flipping halfway through. You want the bread to be lightly toasted. Once done, set aside.
  • Season soup to taste with additional salt and pepper as needed. Ladle the soup into oven proof bowls, top with the toasted bread, and even sprinkle the cheese across the 4 bowls. Place the bowls on a large baking tray and broil in the oven until the cheese is melted and bubbling around the sides.**
  • Serve immediately and ENJOY!

VEGETARIAN FRENCH ONION SOUP



Vegetarian French Onion Soup 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.

VEGETARIAN STOUT FRENCH ONION SOUP



Vegetarian Stout French Onion Soup image

I love Irish stout stew and French onion soup. Plus my wife is a vegetarian. So I came up with this infusion that is, in my opinion, amazing! Portobello mushrooms replace cubed beef, and it is all topped off with a Swiss cheese-crusted slice of artisan bread, French onion-soup style. Serve with a frosty stout and enjoy! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Tips:

  • Use a good quality stout beer. A dark, roasty stout will give the soup a rich, complex flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to caramelize the onions. The longer you caramelize them, the sweeter and more flavorful they will be.
  • Use a variety of mushrooms. A combination of different mushrooms, such as cremini, shiitake, and oyster mushrooms, will give the soup a more complex flavor.
  • Don't crowd the pot when you're searing the mushrooms. If you overcrowd the pot, the mushrooms will steam instead of sear, which will make them less flavorful.
  • Use a good quality vegetable broth. A homemade vegetable broth will give the soup a more flavorful base.
  • Season the soup to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste until the soup is flavorful and balanced.

Conclusion:

Vegetarian stout French onion soup is a hearty, flavorful soup that is perfect for a cold winter day. The combination of caramelized onions, mushrooms, stout beer, and vegetable broth creates a rich, complex flavor that is sure to please everyone at the table. So next time you're looking for a delicious and satisfying vegetarian soup, give this recipe a try!
