Vegan French Onion Soup 🌱(& vegan garlic bread 🥖)

Easily one of my favourite soups, this brings back fond childhood memories and it’s so delicious. My son also loved this when I made it today, I’m so pleased it’s back on the favourite list! This is traditionally made with beef stock and my mum reinvented it for me (as she did all of my favourite recipes) when I was a child. I don’t usually use stock cubes in any of my soups, but they do really add to the flavour. The key to the flavour is cooking the onions really slowly but it’s so worth the wait! Note that I didn’t have a good vegan cheese, so I missed this step. It really does need a good cheese if you are using, but it’s good without. #mycookbook

Cooking Instructions
- 1
Chop the onions into rings. Add a splash of oil to the pan and cook the onions on a high heat for 2 or 3 minutes. Reduce the heat and put on lid. Cook until the onions start to soften. Add a splash of beer or a sprinkle of sugar to help them to caramelise. Cook until very soft, this will take at least 30 minutes, possibly longer. Don’t be tempted to rush this step or you won’t get the depth of flavour.
- 2
Add 1 clove of chopped or crushed garlic, the bay leaf, Rosemary and Thyme. Cook for a further few minutes. Add a splash of vinegar or wine to deglaze the pan. Mix the stock cube with boiling water and allow to dissolve. Add to the pan and cook for around another 30 minutes. Season to your taste.
- 3
Crush the remaining garlic and mix with the butter. Slice the baguette. Spread each section with garlic butter, wrap in tin foil and bake until crispy.

Place a ladel of soup into the bowl. Top with a garlic bread crouton, sprinkle with vegan cheese and grill until it bubbles. Sprinkle with fresh seasonal herbs if you are using. Enjoy 😋

This is a good way to save leftover french bread.I prefer to have the soup a bit runny since a thicker consistency tend to become more of a gravy rather than soup. alfredsanpedro -

Unique Onion Gratin Soup Made with Sandwich Bread Unique Onion Gratin Soup Made with Sandwich Bread
I make this often at home. My husband and child love it.If you don't have sandwich bread, you can of course use french bread. If the soup is tepid, the bread will soak it up, so be sure to place the bread in hot soup, and place it in the oven immediately. Recipe by Anna. cookpad.japan -

Ribollita (Tuscan Bread Soup) Ribollita (Tuscan Bread Soup)
Ribollita it is!It takes time and patience... but the result is one of the most delicious dishes, rich in history.This is the story of a saltless bread created as a protest (Florentines refused to pay salt taxes to the Pisans), the story of using whatever vegetables the garden offered at this time of year, the story of making use of every ingredient, and the story of resourceful farmers.The bread soup is reheated in a skillet (preferably cast iron) with a little olive oil and maybe a piece of prosciutto rind. A drizzle of good olive oil is a must, along with some fresh onion. Serena DelfiTranslated from Cookpad Italy -

Bread and Soup in Memory of my Mother Bread and Soup in Memory of my Mother
Growing here in central Florida we didn't always have a long cold winter. We did get coldsnaps. It usually consisted of grits and eggs, or oatmeal for breakfast. Then sandwich for lunchtime. For dinner homemade soup, chili, or dried beans with bread for dinnertime. Sometimes we had breakfast for dinner. Well it got a little cool so here is a tribute to my Mother. Thanks Mom.This recipe has good tips. If you are like us we have a tendency to put too much in a pot, that makes it not have a bit of everything you want in it. So step 2 has a build bowl set inside the pot for cooking the soup. When the bowl is full it's time to stop. Add fresh vegetables first and uncooked pasta. Bring to a boil 8 minutes covered turn off heat the residual heat will cook till tender. I left mine 40 minutes then added the canned vegetables, little smokies, and mushrooms.I do the bread in a pan instead of the oven. I am cooking this for 3 of my granddaughters and youngest daughter. So each one likes their toast different one crunchy, one soft, and believe it or not one likes it kinda over toasted.I am glad me and my Mother had a great relationship. I still remember on the morning she past I am glad she was up when I left to watch the grandchildren, that I, was able to say goodbye to her, 4 and a half hours before she past on.... skunkmonkey101 -
