Lightened-Up French Onion Soup with Herb-Crusted Sourdough
Enjoy a comforting bowl of French onion soup enriched with tender, caramelized onions, a touch of lean chicken, and a delightful herb-crusted sourdough topped with melty low-fat Swiss cheese. A light twist on a classic that delivers both flavor and nourishing protein.
INGREDIENTS
3 oz cooked Chicken Breast
1 medium Yellow Onion
1 Garlic Clove
1.5 cups Low Sodium Chicken Broth
1 tsp Olive Oil
1 slice Sourdough Bread
1 oz Low-Fat Swiss Cheese
1/2 tsp Dried Rosemary
1/2 tsp Dried Thyme
PREPARATION
Thinly slice the onion and mince the garlic.
In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the onions and cook slowly until they are deeply caramelized and soft, about 15-20 minutes. Add the minced garlic during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
Pour in the low sodium chicken broth and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Stir in a pinch of salt, pepper, and dried thyme. Allow the soup to simmer for another 5 minutes to meld the flavors.
Meanwhile, preheat your broiler. Lightly brush the sourdough slice with a small amount of olive oil and sprinkle evenly with dried rosemary and a pinch of thyme.
Place the bread on a baking sheet and toast under the broiler until the edges are crisp and slightly golden, about 2-3 minutes. Keep a close eye to prevent burning.
Stir in the shredded cooked chicken breast into the simmering soup. Ladle the hot soup into an oven-safe bowl, place the herb-crusted sourdough slice on top and layer with the low-fat Swiss cheese.
Return the bowl under the broiler for 1-2 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. Carefully remove from the oven and serve immediately.
