French Onion Soup, originally uploaded by speedvegan.

I’m going on vacation ! I will be in Paris for part of my trip, so I thought it would be appropriate to use my French Onion Soup recipe in the last post before my “voyage.” I hope you will like it as much as Jose and I do.

1 tbsp margarine
2 yellow onions, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
2 tsp agave nectar
1 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
4 cups veggie stock
1/2 tsp brandy (optional)
2 thick slices french bread
1 cup vegan cheese, shredded

1. Saute onions in margarine in a soup pot over medium heat until translucent.

2. Add garlic, thyme, agave nectar, salt and pepper. Mix well and saute for another 2-3 minutes.

3. Add veggie stock and brandy (if desired). Bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer for about 10 minutes.

4. Place a slice a bread into an oven-proof bowl. Pour soup over bread and then top with shredded cheese.

5. Broil soup bowls until cheese has melted is is starting to brown. Be careful when removing bowls from oven. They will be extremely hot !!

Bon appetit !
