INGREDIENTS
1 medium Yellow Onion (150g)
2 cups Low Sodium Beef Broth (480g)
3 Garlic Cloves (9g)
3/4 cup Shredded Low-Fat Swiss Cheese (85g)
1 slice Sourdough Bread (40g)
1 tsp Olive Oil (5g)
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
Salt & Pepper to taste
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven’s broiler to high, and lightly toast the sourdough slice.
In a medium pot over medium heat, add the sliced yellow onion and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions become soft and begin to caramelize, about 8-10 minutes. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
Pour in the low sodium beef broth and add a couple of sprigs of thyme. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow the flavors to meld for about 10 minutes.
While the soup simmers, brush the sourdough slice with olive oil and sprinkle with a pinch of thyme, then toast it in the oven until it acquires a crisp, herb-infused crust.
Ladle the hot soup into a bowl, then evenly sprinkle the shredded low-fat Swiss cheese on top. For added melt and slight browning, you may place the bowl under the broiler for 1-2 minutes—watch closely to avoid burning.
Serve the soup hot with the herb-crusted sourdough on the side or as a topping, and enjoy the balanced, savory flavors.
