Onion Soup

Onion Soup

Onion soup is a dish that many of us like but few of us enjoy at home - especially onion soup that is not made from one of the powdered mixes of one of the canned soups commonly sold at grocers. Here is a recipe for making onion soup from scratch which is easy to make, very tasty and much healthier than most of the packaged or canned soups and mixes.

Ingredients:

1 1/2 large yellow onions, halved and thinly sliced
1 1/2 Tbsp. extra virgin olive oil
Pinch non-refined sugar or tiny amount of Stevia or Lo Han
4 cups reduced-sodium msg-free chicken broth (or msg-free beef broth, or vegetable broth)
1/2 tsp. dried thyme
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
4 slices whole wheat-bread, toasted
2 Tbsp. freshly grated Parmesan cheese

(As always, for the very healthiest versions of any recipe choose organic content as much as possible.)

Instructions:

1. In large non-stick skillet, saute onions in oil over medium heat for 5 minutes.

2. Add sugar. Reduce heat to low and continue to cook until onions have browned. Add broth and thyme.
3. Simmer over low heat for 20 minutes. Season soup to taste with salt and pepper.

4. Place each slice of toast in individual bowl and ladle soup over it. Sprinkle servings equally with cheese and serve.

Makes 4 servings.
