Skinny French Onion Soup
Makes enough for a buffet – keep warm in a crock pot with a platter of cheesy toasts on the side. Or, consider coffee mugs, and tuck toasts on the saucer.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 small cooking onions, thinly sliced
- 2 sweet onions, such as Walla Walla, thinly sliced
- 1 tbsp Herb & Garlic Dip Mix
- 1⁄2 cup dry sherry or white wine
- 6 cups Nourish Broth, prepared
- 1 1⁄2 tsp Nourish Broth Mix
- 1 cup boiling water
- Sea Salt, to taste
- Black Pepper, to taste
- 12 slices baguette
- 1⁄2 cup Greek yogurt
- 1⁄3 cup grated Gruyère cheese
Preparation
- In a large pot, heat oil over medium-high heat. Add onions, and reduce heat to medium. Stir often until onions are soft and caramelized, approximately 20–30 minutes.
- Stir in Herb & Garlic Dip Mix, then pour in sherry. Using a spoon, scrape up, and stir in any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Stir in Nourish Broth, and season with Salt and Pepper. Bring to a boil, then cover, and simmer to let flavours blend, approximately 15 minutes.
- Just before serving, preheat broiler to high with rack in highest position. Lightly spread each baguette slice with yogurt, then sprinkle with cheese. Spread out on a crisper, and broil until golden and melted, approximately 1 minute.
- Ladle soup into bowls, and top with cheesy toasts.
