FRENCH ONION SOUP

French Onion Soup

 

There is nothing more comforting than a bowl of homemade onion soup – while most of us have only savored this dish in a restaurant, once you see how simple it is, you will make it a family favorite. If you are a bariatric patient, fortify your portion of this soup with an unflavored whey isolate such as PURE – as this is not a protein food. A very thin crispy broiled sourdough crouton, with melted provolone is a tasty item to float in your soup bowl!

4 large sweet onions, thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, sliced
1 tablespoon butter or olive oil
1 cup white wine
4 cups chicken broth – Swanson’s Natural Goodness Chicken Broth is a good choice
2 cups beef broth – Swanson’s Certified Organic Beef Broth is a good choice
Freshly grated nutmeg

Sauté onions and garlic in the butter and olive oil until lightly browned and caramelized – 25 to 30 minutes.

Add white wine, chicken and beef broth and cook for 25 to 30 minutes.

Add ¼ teaspoon of the nutmeg, or to taste - season with salt and pepper.
