Be Our Guest Inspired French Onion Soup
This soup is a staple at Be Our Guest, and it's vegetarian.
Ingredients
- 4 Tbsp Butter
- 1 1/2 pounds Yellow Onion Sliced Thin
- 1 tsp Sugar
- 1/8 cup flour
- 6 cups vegetable stock
- 1/2 Tbsp Dried Thyme
- 1/2 Tbsp Dried Parsley
- 1 Dried Bay Leaf
- salt and pepper to taste
- French Bread
- 5 oz Gruyere Cheese shredded
- 4 slices Provolone
Instructions
- In a large soup pot, melt butter over medium-low heat.
- Once butter is foamy, add sliced onions and sugar. Cook stirring occasionally until the onions are golden brown, this should take about 45 minutes - don't rush it.
- Once cooked add in flour and stir to coat, cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Add in vegetable broth, herbs, salt, and pepper to taste, then bring to a boil - turn the heat down to low and simmer for one hour.
- While the soup is simmering, slice bread thin and toast in a 450-degree oven until lightly browned, 5-7 minutes.
- Once the soup has cooked, ladle into 4 ovenproof dishes.
- Top with the toasted french bread, cover each crock with a slice of provolone, and top that with the grated gruyere.
- Place under the broiler and cook until the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
