Title: French Onion Soup (Vegan)
Categories: Soups, Lowfat, Prodigy, Dec.
Yield: 8 servings

8 c Onions
– cut in thin half circles
6 c Water
4 Fresh garlic bulbs
– pressed or minced
1/4 c Tamari soy sauce
2 tb Powdered vegetable broth

A simple fat free delicious onion soup that was
altered to nonfat from the original recipe. For a
richer soup, you may add 4T butter and use regular
cheese in hot soup. The nutritional analysis does not
reflect the changes. In a large non stick skillet
saute half the onions until they are a deep brown but
not burned. The trick is to cook them until they are
well browned and tender yet still have a little
firmness. Add a little water at a time to keep onions
from sticking. If you have chosen to use butter then
you can saute the onions in butter. Repeat with
remaining onions. In a 3-4 qt pot place all the
sauteed onions the garlic water. Bring to a boil
reduce heat and simmer covered about 20 min or until
soup broth is quite flavorful. Turn burner to lowest
heat. Add tamari and vegetable broth powder. Add a
little more water if desired.
Serve hot topped with cheese croutons or French
bread. The nutritional analysis does not reflect these
additions. Nutrition (per serving): 73 calorie Total
