Original measure retained: its cup/spoon or fluid-volume standard is unspecified. Source temperature equivalents could not be reconciled. Check the original instruction before cooking.
Instructions
- 1Thinly slice the 3 large yellow onions into about 0.32 cm (0.3 cm) thick rings.
- 2In a large heavy-bottomed pot, heat the 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat (325-350°F / 160-175°C). Add the sliced 3 large yellow onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes, until they are very soft and deeply golden brown.
- 3Pour the 6 cups of vegetable broth and the 1/2 cup of dry sherry into the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the liquid to a gentle simmer, where small bubbles consistently break the surface.
- 4Stir in the 1 teaspoon of thyme, the 1 bay leaf, the 1 teaspoon of salt, and the 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and continue to simmer for 15 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld.
- 5While the soup simmers, preheat your oven's broiler to high (approximately 260°C). Arrange the 8 dairy-free baguette slices in a single layer on a baking sheet. Evenly sprinkle the 1 cup of vegan mozzarella shreds over the baguette slices.
- 6Place the baking sheet under the preheated broiler for 2-4 minutes, watching carefully, until the vegan mozzarella shreds are fully melted, bubbly, and lightly browned.
- 7Carefully ladle the hot soup into individual serving bowls. Top each bowl with one or two of the broiled dairy-free baguette slices and serve immediately.
