Ingredients

  • 3 large Yellow onions
  • 3 tablespoons Olive oil
  • 6 cups Beef broth
  • 1 cup Dry red wine
  • 2 tablespoons Coconut aminos
  • 2 cloves Garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Thyme
  • 1 each Bay leaf
  • 2 tablespoons Nutritional yeast
  • 1/2 teaspoon Salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon Black pepper

Instructions

  1. 1Thinly slice the 3 large yellow onions. Heat the 3 tablespoons of olive oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium heat (350°F / 175°C). Add the sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply golden brown and smell sweet, about 30-40 minutes. This deep caramelization is essential for the soup's flavor.
  2. 2Add the 2 cloves of minced garlic, 1 teaspoon of thyme, and 1 bay leaf to the pot with the onions. Cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute until the garlic is fragrant.
  3. 3Pour in the 1 cup of dry red wine and the 2 tablespoons of coconut aminos. Use a spoon to scrape up any browned bits stuck to the bottom of the pot. Let this mixture bubble and reduce slightly for 5 minutes.
  4. 4Add the 6 cups of beef broth to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a boil. Once boiling, reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer gently for 15 minutes.
  5. 5Stir in the 2 tablespoons of nutritional yeast, 1/2 teaspoon of salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper until well combined.
  6. 6Carefully remove and discard the 1 bay leaf from the soup. Serve the soup hot.
