Smoked onion soup is a light meal with a strong flavor and brown color without butter, without beef broth, without slices of cheese or fried eggs, so the broth is not fatty at all.French onion soup is a heavy meal with a mild flavor, it gets its flavor and color from carmelizing the onion in a pan with butter, and from beef broth, bread, fried egg, and lots of cheese.I make four pints of smoked onion soup broth at a time, keep the onions and the broth in pint containers in the fridge or freezer and pour one in a cast iron soup bowl with lid when ready to serve. I top it with fresh french bread, a poached egg,crumbs of smoked cheese, and a wedge of lime, ready in ten minutes at 450F degrees.

Aqua Faba means bean water and is the nourishing thick broth from soaking and cooking dried garbanzo and other beans. It is often thrown away because the foam on top has a bitter taste. We skim the bitter foam off and use the broth, it tastes mild like egg whites in egg drop soups.There is also a fava bean called Aqua Dulce, which is not bitter when soaked and cooked, that can be used with or instead of garbanzo beans.We mixed both beans to make a hearty bean soup dinner served over croutons with poached egg yokes, spiced with harissa sauce and other spices, served with side dishes of pickled cucumber, pickled onions, pickled olives, pickles sweet peppers and chopped cilantro and green onions.If you prefer vegan, you whisk the aqua faba broth till it develops white strings, like eggwhites, use in this soup instead of eggs.#GlobalApron
