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! let me know what you think of this vertical style video! FC
