Ingredients

  • 6 large red or yellow onion, thinly sliced root to stem
  • 4 tbsp (60 mL) of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp (5 mL) of sugar (to caramelize onions)
  • Salt
  • 2 cloves of garlic, minced
  • 4 cups (1 L) of prepared Plant-Based, No-Beef Gravy Mix
  • 4 cups (1 L) of prepared No-Beef Soup Base, Plant-Based
  • 1/2 cup (125 mL) of dry vermouth
  • 2 bay leaves
  • 1 tbsp (15 mL) of fresh thyme
  • 1/2 tsp (2.5 mL) of ground black pepper
  • 8 slices of baguette, cut 1-inch thick
  • 1 1/2 cups (375 mL) grated Gruyere and a sprinkling of Parmesan

Preparation

  • In a 5 to 6 quart thick-bottomed pot, caramelize the onions. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute.
  • Add vermouth to the pot and scrape up the browned bits on the bottom and sides of the pot, deglazing the pot as you go.
  • Add No-Beef Gravy, No-Beef Soup Base, bay leaves, and thyme. Cover the pot and lower heat to maintain a low simmer for 30 minutes. Then, discard the bay leaves.
  • While the soup is simmering, line a sheet pan with parchment paper and preheat oven to 450°F with a rack in the upper third of the oven.
  • Brush both sides of baguette slices lightly with olive oil.
  • Put in the oven and toast until lightly browned, about 5 to 7 minutes.
  • Remove from oven. Turn toasts over and sprinkle with grated Gruyere cheese and Parmesan. Return to oven and bake until cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
  • To serve, ladle soup into a bowl and transfer one cheesy toast onto the top of each bowl of soup.
