Vegetarian French Onion Soup (vertical video) // Frankie Cooks

Here's a fun way to make French Onion style soup, with vegetable broth!

For one person - the rough measurements are as follows
2C vegetable broth
1/3C lentils
1 onion, sliced thin
2 TBSP butter
1-3 slices of bread
1 teaspoon of chive
5-8 cremini mushrooms, sliced
3oz gruyere cheese

Here is my guide.
Start by caremelizing your onion in some butter. I like to use high heat and add water as needed to prevent burning. After about 3-4 water additions and 20 or so minutes, lower the heat and add sliced mushrooms. Their water will draw out, and you'll want to cook that off.

in a small sauce pan, heat your vegetable broth and add lentils to it. Simmer them until soft, taste for salt.

Find a bread you like and figure out how to get 1-3 pieces in the vessel you will serve in. In my case, a mason jar, I cut the bread slices with the jar.

Layer; bread, onion/mushroom, broth, cheese all the way to the top ending with bread and cheese. Set the whole thing under your broiler for that wonderful gratin! finish with chives!
