French Onion Soup (Vegetarian)


If you're in the mood to cuddle up by the fire and watch a movie. This soup is perfect.
This recipe serves 6.

Ingredients:
3 ounces Butter
1 pound Large white onions, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon All purpose flour
1 1/2 quart Vegetable stock
salt and freshly ground pepper
extra virgin olive oil
garlic powder
Grated fresh parmesan cheese
Slices of swiss cheese (as needed to cover)

Directions:
1. Melt butter in a large saucepan/pot. Add the onions and cook over low heat, stirring constantly for about 20 minutes until they become soft and golden. Sprinkle in the flour and stir for 2 minutes.

2. Pour in the stock, season with salt and pepper and bring to a boil. Cover and cook over very low heat 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

3. Pour soup into bowls and put slices of swiss cheese over opening of bowl.

4. It's better if you let the cheese hang slightly over the edge so that it melts to the bowl and makes crusty cheese pieces to pick off (my personal favorite).

Serve immediately.
