Vegan / Vegetarian Onion Soup Recipe
Hey my Sweet Vs, it's The Sweetest Vegan here and today on 
 the show, we will be making my onion soup recipe.
Now why are we making my onion soup instead on french onion soup?
French onion soup usually has this glob cover of cheese over it, 
 and I don't really know how to do that vegan.
And I don't want to use daiya and I don't want to use imitation cheese, 
 I am just going to keep it simple with my onion soup. 
So if you are prepared to try it, here we go.
Vegan / Vegetarian Onion Soup Recipe
Excuse the lighting of this video, I am a little late filming today.
But we just want to start off by thinly slicing our onions.
You want to cut them in half length wise and then peel back the 
 outer skin until you get to the fresh onion-y part, the white 
And you dont want to peel it all the way off, 
 you want to keep that base of the onion intact,
because it kind of holds your onion together while you 
 slice them. It just makes it a lot easier.
So go ahead a thinly slice them, then sit them aside.
Next, in a large pot you want to 
 heat up vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
And I am not making a lot, just one - two servings. So it's 
 not a big large pot, it's more of a small large pot.
Once your oil is heated up, you want to add 
 your onions, salt and pepper to taste, 
and also the salt will help them to cook down, draw out 
 the water, and cook them until they are soft and brown.
So while your onions are cooking down, you can go 
 ahead and prepare the rest of your ingredients.
Here I have celery and carrots to help me make a homemade vegetable broth.
ANd I am kind of slicing them a little bit smaller or 
 thinner, to get the maximum amount of surface area 
exposed to the water to extract the maximum amount of 
 flavor. Haha that is a little bit scientific.
So once your onions are cooked down like this, add in your celery, and 
 in your carrots, and we are going to add in poultry 
seasoning. I describe poultry seasoning as all the good 
 parts of chicken broth, without the actual chicken.
So it is really yummy. Give it a good stir, and then add 
 water to the rest of the pot. Stir it again, 
then bring it to a rolling boil. Once your boil is established, you 
 can reduce it to a simmer, cover it with a little top,
then bring it to a rolling boil. Once your boil is established, you 
 can reduce it to a simmer, cover it with a little top,
and then leave it in patience and calmness 
 for about 30 minutes to an hour.
And that is how you make soup, it is really that simple.
Now we are going to ladle the soup into a soup plate I believe they 
 call it, and we are going to put a slice of bread on top.
Now I would toast my bread if I were 
 to do this again, so toast your bread.
And they usually put cheese on top of the bread in a 
 normal onion soup. But you can just have toasted bread,
 like croutons or crackers or whatever.
You remember that french boule I had the other day? 
 It was like the french bread round cuteness
of a bowl of bread, and yeah I had it for like 5 days, and 
 it was hairy when I pulled it out today and decided to slice it.
So I went to the store and got this Italian 
 loaf. It is really soft and like heaven.
I love it. Slice that on up put that on top 
 of your soup and you are ready to serve.
The best way to describe this is Thanksgiving. I don't know if 
 it is all the onions or the poultry seasoning, 
but it really taste like a southern dressing or stuffing for a turkey.
It is really delicious. You can serve this to replace chicken noodle soup, 
because the onions are kind of long and stringy and you know 
 when your sick, you get tired of eating the same thing
or if you have a long winter, you get sick 
 of the same vegetable soup or chicken noodle soup,
so you can serve this. You have the poultry seasoning 
which like I said, is all the good 
 parts of chicken broth without the chicken.
You have celery and carrots and you can put 
 other vegetables in. And it would be fantastic.
I think it would be great. So that is it for today. Bye.
