French Onion Soup

Instructions

Special requirement: none

1. Peel and thinly slice the onions.
2. In a large pot, heat some oil over medium heat.

4. Once the onions are caramelized, pour in the vegetable broth.
5. Bring the soup to a boil and then reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 20 minutes to allow the flavors to develop.

7. Cut the Gruyère cheese into thin slices.
8. Ladle the soup into oven-safe bowls or crocks.
9. Top each bowl of soup with a few slices of Gruyère cheese.
10. Place the bowls on a baking sheet and transfer them to the preheated oven.
11. Bake for about 10 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
12. Carefully remove the bowls from the oven using oven mitts.
13. Serve the French Onion Soup hot, and enjoy!
