Vegan French Onion Soup

Ingredients

• 3 large Yellow Onions
• 2 tbsp Olive Oil
• 6 cups Vegetable Broth
• 1/2 cup Dry Red Wine
• 1 tsp Thyme
• 1 leaf Bay Leaf
• 4 slices French Bread
• 1/2 cup Vegan Gruyere Cheese
• 1 tsp Salt
• 1/2 tsp Black Pepper

Instructions

1. 1Carefully slice the 3 large Yellow Onions into 1/8-inch thick pieces.
2. 2Place a large, heavy-bottomed pot on the stove and add the 2 tbsp of Olive Oil. Heat the oil over medium heat (350°F / 175°C) for 1-2 minutes until shimmering. Add all of the sliced onions to the pot and cook, stirring occasionally, for 30-40 minutes, until they are deeply golden brown and very soft.
3. 3Pour in the 6 cups of Vegetable Broth and the 1/2 cup of Dry Red Wine. Add the 1 tsp of Thyme and the 1 Bay Leaf to the pot. Increase the heat to medium-high and bring the soup to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 15 minutes.
4. 4Preheat your broiler to its highest setting (typically 500°F / 260°C). Carefully remove and discard the 1 Bay Leaf from the soup.
5. 5Ladle the hot soup evenly into 4 oven-safe bowls. Place one slice of the 4 French Bread on top of the soup in each bowl, then sprinkle the 1/2 cup of Vegan Gruyere Cheese evenly over the bread slices.
6. 6Place the bowls on a baking sheet and carefully transfer them to the preheated broiler. Broil for 2-3 minutes, watching continuously, until the vegan cheese is melted and bubbly and the French Bread is lightly toasted.
7. 7Carefully remove the baking sheet with the bowls from the broiler. Stir the 1 tsp of Salt and 1/2 tsp of Black Pepper into the soup in each bowl. Serve the Vegan French Onion Soup immediately.
