French Onion Soup (Week 68, France)

This recipe is a part of my Global Vegan Challenge where each week I research and develop a recipe from a different country in the world. Many of these recipes are veganized based off their omnivore counterparts. While not all of these recipes are a one for one what you’ll find in their country, I hope you’ll still find them delicious!


Recipe Notes

  • I didn’t have a baguette on hand but I did still top with bread and broiled vegan Chao cheese. It didn’t look pretty in photos so that’s why you don’t see it pictured below!
  • You’ll want to use oven-save serving bowls here. Alternatively, if you have a cooking torch you can use that to melt your vegan cheese as well.

Prep time

60 minutes

Cooking time

80 minutes

Ingredients

  • 3 pounds Onions (I used yellow but white is typical)

  • 10 cups Vegetable Broth (I used Better than Bullion No Beef)

  • 8 Garlic Cloves

  • 2/3 cup Dry White Wine

  • 8 tablespoons Olive Oil (more as needed)

  • 3 teaspoons Salt (more to taste as needed)

  • Baguette (as needed)

  • Vegan Cheese (as needed – I used Chao slices)

Directions

  • Mince garlic, and slice onions into thin half moons.
  • Heat up pan(s) on medium-low heat. Add olive oil, onions, garlic, and salt. Sauté, stirring frequently until onions are caramelized (this can take up to an hour – add additional oil as needed).
  • Once onions are caramelized deglaze pan with white wine. Be sure to scrape up any burnt sugar.
  • Add mixture to a large pot on medium heat with vegetable broth. Bring to a low simmer. Allow to simmer on low for 10 minutes. Taste test and add additional salt if needed.
  • Once ready, ladle soup into an oven-safe serving bowls. Slice baguette slices and place on top of soup. Sprinkle vegan cheese over bread and soup until covered. Place on a baking sheet and put in oven under broiler on low for 5 minutes or until cheese is melty.
  • Carefully remove from oven. Enjoy hot!
