Although this has cheese, it only has 13 g of fat, so as an occasional treat it’s a great soup:
6 portions
1 and 1/2 lb mild onions
2 Yukon gold potatoes
3 Tbsp butter
1 cup white wine
5 cups vegetable or beef broth
1 bouquet Garni (Thyme, bay leaf, parsley) fresh if possible
S&P
2 cloves of garlic
6 pieces wheat or white bread, 1 day old ( not super market type) but Farmer’s
5 oz grated Emmentaler (Swiss cheese)
Cut onions into thin slices. Peel pot and wash. Melt butter, saute onion to a golden brown. Add wine and let cook on med high. Grate potatoes and add. Pour broth and add bouquet (tied) garni. S&P, reduce heat and simmer 20 min. –Preheat oven to 200F. Peel garlic and rub over bread slices. Remove herbs (garni bouquet) and pour soup into fireproof bowls. Add one piece of bread and thick layer of grated cheese. Bake until golden brown. (approx. 10 min)
Bon appetit.
