French Onion Soup

This is an old time favorite of mine, comfort food if you will. Here is an especially tasty recipe that I use often and thought I would share to my fellow Vegans. If you don’t know already many wines are filtered through animal products and not considered vegan. There are a lot of vineyards that do not practice this method however where you can purchase vegan friendly wine.

INGREDIENTS

1/2 pint / 240 ml sherry or dry white wine (There are plenty of choices for
vegan wine)
4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced into circles
8 to 10 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 T whole wheat pastry flour
2 pints / 950 ml veggie stock
Pinch of thyme & sage
1/2 t black pepper
1/2 t of salt

METHOD
In a large heavy stockpot, heat wine until bubbling. Add the onions and reduce heat to medium. Cook onions on a low heat, stirring frequently, for at least 20 minutes. Add garlic and continue to cook 5 to 10 minutes until garlic begins to look brownish. Add flour, stir well, and cook for 2 minutes. Add stock, thyme, sage and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer 30 minutes. Season with pepper and salt. Serve.
