Finished with a crisp, herb-crusted sourdough topped with low-fat Swiss cheese, this dish offers a harmonious balance of savory depth and refreshing lightness.
INGREDIENTS
1 large Yellow Onion (150g)
3 ounces Lean Beef (Grilled Shavings)
2 cups Low Sodium Beef Broth
1 slice Sourdough Bread
1 slice Low-Fat Swiss Cheese
1 teaspoon Olive Oil
3 sprigs Fresh Thyme
1 pinch Fresh Rosemary
Salt & Pepper (to taste)
PREPARATION
Thinly slice the yellow onion. In a medium pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat and gently sauté the onions until they become soft and slightly caramelized, about 10-12 minutes.
Add the low sodium beef broth to the pot with the onions. Bring to a simmer and let the flavors meld for an additional 5 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
While the soup simmers, grill the lean beef until just cooked through and slice or shred it into thin strips.
Preheat your broiler. Arrange the sourdough bread slice on a baking sheet and toast lightly. Sprinkle with chopped fresh rosemary and thyme to create an herb crust. Place the low-fat Swiss cheese slice on top and broil for 2-3 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Ladle the hot soup into a bowl, top with the grilled beef shavings, and add the herb-crusted sourdough on top. Serve immediately and enjoy this light yet protein-rich twist on French Onion Soup.
