French Onion Soup

I never knew how easy French Onion Soup was to make, and the fact that it can be vegetarian made it even better!  I taught my best friend how to make this soup, and once a year, she thanks me for it!


French Onion Soup

Peel and slice about 5 cups of onions.  I never measure anyway, I just go for it.
Cook onions in about 3 Tbs. vegetable oil until just starting to brown.
Add about 7 cups of water, a pinch of tarragon, 1/2 tsp. salt and about 1/4 cup good quality soy sauce/tamari.
Add 1/4 cup nutritional yeast flakes if you have them.
Stir everything well,
Bring to a boil, then simmer until ready to serve.

I love onion soup with bread and cheese, but I don't like big globs of melted cheese swimming in my soup broth.  It's hard to chew, and I'm afraid of choking on it as well!  I serve my onion soup with toasted sourdough with a slice of cheese melted on the toast.  It's much better this way for me.  See whatyou think!  You can always go the traditional route, and top witha slice of bread, cheese, and broil it until wickedly good and bubbly!
