Ingredients 

  • 5 onions julienned
  • 3 cloves garlic chopped
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 4 sprigs fresh thyme
  • 1 cup blonde beer or white wine
  • 4 Tbsps olive oil
  • 2 Tbsps flour or cornstarch
  • 4 cups vegetable broth or water
  • salt and ground pepper to taste
  • slice toast 1-2 / serving
  • sliced vegan cheese 1 / serving

Instructions

  • Peel and thinly slice the onions.
  • Heat the oil in a pot.
  • Add the onions, garlic, bay leaves, thyme, and salt and pepper and cook until the onions are very soft and caramelized, for about 25 minutes.
  • Add the beer/wine, bring to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer until the wine has evaporated - about 5 minutes. Discard the bay leaves and thyme sprigs.
  • Add the flour/cornstarch and stir. Turn the heat on medium-low. Cook for 5 minutes, while stirring.
  • Add the veggie broth. Bring the soup back to a simmer, and cook for 10 minutes. Season, to taste, with salt and pepper.
  • Add a slice of bread in a pan and toast it on one side without burning. Flip it on the other side and place a slice of vegan cheese on top and cover with a lid. Let it melt at low temp for 1-2 minutes.
  • Serve hot, with the toast and cheese in the middle.
