Low-Point French Onion Soup
Ingredients:
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 4 large onions, thinly sliced
- 4 cups low-sodium beef broth (or vegetable broth for a vegan option)
- 2 cups water
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce (use vegan Worcestershire sauce for a vegan option)
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 4 slices of whole grain bread (choose a low-point option if available)
- 1/2 cup shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese
Instructions:
- In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the thinly sliced onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until caramelized and golden brown, about 20-25 minutes.
- Add the low-sodium beef broth (or vegetable broth), water, Worcestershire sauce, dried thyme, salt, and pepper to the pot with the caramelized onions. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for an additional 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
- While the soup is simmering, preheat the broiler in your oven.
- Ladle the soup into four oven-safe bowls. Top each bowl with a slice of whole grain bread and sprinkle with shredded reduced-fat Swiss cheese.
- Place the bowls under the broiler and broil for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
- Carefully remove the bowls from the oven using oven mitts.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
