Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 4 tablespoons vegan butter
- 3 lbs sweet onion peeled and thinly sliced
- 4 springs thyme
- 1 cup dry white wine use a good wine so you can cook with half the bottle and drink the rest!
- 6 cups Vegetable Stock
- 4 Pieces Sourdough Bread gluten free, if needed
- Optional 1/2 cup grated sharp cheese anything vegan melty (or imported Gruyere if you’re going to use the real stuff)
Instructions
- In a dutch oven or other heavy bottomed pot, heat the olive oil and butter on low heat until melted. Add the sliced onions and stir occasionally for about 30-45 minutes until they become dark brown and caramelized.
- Add the thyme and white wine and deglaze the pot. With a wooden spoon scrape the bottom of the pan until all the little brown onion bits have been released into the soup. Cook for 10 minutes until the wine has mostly evaporated. Add the vegetable stock and gently simmer for 30 minutes.
- Before serving, slice small pieces of sourdough bread. If using cheese, add it to the top of the bread pieces and toast under the broiler for a few minutes until the cheese begins to melt and the edges of the bread start to brown.
- Place a piece of bread at the bottom of the bowl and ladle the soup on top! Enjoy!
