Lightened-Up French Onion Soup with Gruyere Toasts
Savor a classic French onion soup reimagined to be light yet satisfying. Caramelized onions simmer in a flavorful low-sodium beef broth with a hint of balsamic and garlic, perfectly paired with a toasted whole wheat bread layered with melty Gruyere and airy egg whites. This comforting bowl delivers a balanced blend of sweet, savory, and rich flavors with a crisp, delightful finish.
INGREDIENTS
2 medium Yellow Onions (approx. 250g)
2 cups Low-Sodium Beef Broth (480g)
1 tbsp Olive Oil
1 slice Whole Wheat Bread
1 oz Gruyere Cheese
3 Egg Whites
1 tsp Balsamic Vinegar
1 Garlic Clove
2 sprigs Fresh Thyme
PREPARATION
Thinly slice the onions. In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the onions and minced garlic. Sauté until the onions are deeply caramelized, about 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the balsamic vinegar and fresh thyme sprigs, and pour in the low-sodium beef broth. Bring the soup to a simmer, then reduce the heat and let it cook for another 10 minutes to meld the flavors.
While the soup simmers, preheat your broiler. Place the slice of whole wheat bread on a baking sheet. Top it with the Gruyere cheese and evenly distribute the 3 egg whites over the cheese.
Broil the toast until the egg whites are just set and the cheese is beautifully melted and lightly browned, about 3-5 minutes. Keep a close watch to prevent overcooking.
Ladle the hot soup into bowls and serve alongside the grilled Gruyere toast. Garnish with a fresh thyme sprig if desired and enjoy this light yet satisfying meal.
