This French Onion Soup Gratinee offers a lighter twist on the classic, using red onions and vegetarian ingredients for rich flavor without the heaviness. The surprising addition of nutritional yeast and Kitchen Bouquet creates deep umami notes traditionally achieved with beef broth. Topped with crusty French bread and melted cheese, this soup delivers that irresistible combination of sweet caramelized onions and gooey cheese that makes French onion soup a beloved comfort food classic.

Ingredients

4 cups red onion, thinly sliced lengthwise
1 tablespoon port wine
1 cup water
1 tablespoon ketchup
1/8 teaspoon pepper
1 tablespoon vegetarian Worcestershire sauce (available at health food stores)
2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (available at health food stores)
4 tablespoons Kitchen Bouquet
2 cups fat-free vegetable broth
6 pieces French bread, sliced diagonally 1/2 inch thick
1/2 cup shredded fat-free Swiss cheese
1/2 cup grated fat-free parmesan cheese
Finely chopped parsley

Directions

Heat oven to 350 degrees.
In a large skillet, sauté onions in port wine for 7 minutes over medium heat, until soft.
Add water, ketchup, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, yeast, Kitchen Bouquet and broth.
Bring to a boil and simmer, covered, for 5 minutes.
Ladle 1 cup soup into a serving bowl and top with 1 bread slice and 2 tablespoons each of Swiss and parmesan cheese. Place bowl in oven, and bake at 350 degrees for 15 minutes, until cheese is melted and soup is bubbling.
Sprinkle with finely chopped parsley, if desired.

💡️ Help, Cookie Policy, Privacy Policy, and Terms of Service

🙄 Help: Seriously? You don't need any help.
🌄 Why No Pictures: Well, there ARE some pictures, here and there. But to be honest, if you need pictures showing you how to stir something, you shouldn't be cooking! And really, I find them annoying when all I want to do is look at the recipe! Also, we haven't made most of these recipes. We occasionally take pictures of the finished product when we remember!
💯 Why There Are Recipe Numbers Missing: Well, it's like this. The recipe numbers are automatically generated by the database, always using a new number for a new recipe. Over the last 20 years many recipes, mostly test recipes, have been added and then deleted, leaving only their memory and their number behind. And there was also a lot of weird stuff going on in the beginning, which messed up the order. In terms of date added, the first one is #6, then #4, #9, #10, #4, #718!!!, #2, and finally #1. Just the way databases and poor programmers work!
