Ingredients
6 large Onions (sliced)
4 cloves Garlic (minced)
2 tbsp Olive oil
2 tbsp Vegan butter
1 tsp Sugar
Thyme (to taste)
2 Bay leaves
2 Vegetable broth cubes
2 cups Water
2 tbsp All purpose flour
2 tbsp Worcestershire sauce (make sure it's vegan)
Salt and Pepper to taste
8 slices Baguette bread
1 ½ cups Shredded vegan cheese
Directions
Step 1
Prepare Onions: In a large pot, heat the olive oil and vegan butter over medium heat. Add the onions, sugar, and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 20-25 minutes until the onions are caramelized.
Step 2
Add Herbs and Garlic: Stir in the garlic, thyme, and bay leaves. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.
Step 3
Thicken Soup: Sprinkle the flour over the onions and stir well to combine. Cook for another 2-3 minutes.
Step 4
Prepare Broth: Add the vegetable broth cubes, water, and Worcestershire sauce to the pot. Stir well and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce heat and let it simmer for 10-15 minutes.
Step 5
Season: Remove the bay leaves and season with salt and pepper according to your preference.
Step 6
Assemble and Bake: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls, top with toasted baguette slices and sprinkle shredded vegan cheese over the bread. Place the bowls on a baking sheet and bake for 5-7 minutes or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Step 7
Serve: Enjoy your Vegan French Onion Soup hot, garnished with additional thyme if desired.
